Game Bird Permit/ Licencsure Information

[Quailsong]

You can do a google search (permits needed to raise quail in _______) of which Province or Territory you live in.
Hope this helps

I'm making a ton of calls for my area and whatnot. There was nothing on the internet other than "you need a license" which ended up being debatable depending on if you're on agriculture land or not. Quail also apparently fall into 'hobby' so that's where the issue is it seems. But durn it, if I find out I don't need a license I will still try to get that in writing. You never know when one day...

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

Yeah, the fact I may end up selling some eggs or meat makes me really determined to have all the paperwork, even the "in extreme scenario X". If a worse case scenario happens, such as a whole H1N1 thing occurs in my province, and they're freaking in my area, I want to make sure I've got everything legit & ready. Esp to recoup costs if they say all outdoor birds need to be culled, including my 'hobby quail'.

Peace of mind, really; I just don't want to be other people's scapegoat 'cause I had less paperwork than them. >.<
