Federal regulations provide for issuance of permits to control damage or other “injury” being caused by migratory birds. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service works with USDA, APHIS, Wildlife Services and individual airports to minimize the likelihood of bird/aircraft collisions. This presentation explains the rules, regulations, and procedures related to federal migratory bird permits and the Service’s commitment to helping provide the tools necessary to help airports create bird-free air space.
