3-200-10c Application for Migratory Bird Special Purpose Possession

This permit is required to possess and transport migratory birds for conservation education purposes.  You may request live migratory birds and/or “dead” migratory birds (e.g. specimens, parts, feathers, nests, and eggs).  You may request salvage authorization to be added to your permit; you do not need to submit a separate Salvage Permit application.

You may not take possession of a bird prior to approval by your Migratory Bird Permit Office.  A minimum of 12 educational programs per year is required. If birds are on display in an exhibit for educational purposes, you must be open to the public for a minimum of 400 hours per year. Possession of live or dead migratory birds and their parts for personal use is prohibited.
