To buy migratory birds; mallard ducks, canada geese, you must have a federal permit before buying. To buy huntable birds i.e. ringneck pheasants, hungarian partridge, and bobwhite quail you are supposed to get a provincial permit after ten days of purchase to keep birds in province of Ontario. Quebec does not have a permit for game birds.
