This is an existing Oregon Department of Agriculture Rule. In the revised rules, <br />the only birds which must meet the above requirements are domestically- raised <br />game birds imported from out of state. <br />• What about rock pigeons? <br />o Rock pigeons (commonly known as barn pigeons, rock doves, etc.) are not <br />considered wildlife and may currently be released and taken for dog training, if <br />the training activity is lawful. <br />• Who is pushing for the adoption of these rules? <br />o ODFW, because it wants to provide a system to allow people to lawfully train <br />hunting dogs and raptors and engage in competitive field trials. <br />
