Under Section of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act it is unlawful to hunt, take, capture, kill, possess, sell, purchase, ship, or transport by any means whatever, or export at any time, any migratory bird included in the terms of the treaty, except as permitted by regulation of the Secre- tary of Agriculture. In the regula- tions the Secretary has not given permission for the ssle of any migra- tory game birds except as propagated on game farms and for scientific pur- poses. As a result, the sale of wild migratory game birds is forbidden turnout the United States.
