TeachMeFinance.com - explain Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 The term 'Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 ' as it applies to the area of agriculture can be defined as ' P.L. 65-186 (July 3, 1918), as amended, regulates the taking of wild birds and implements the provisions of four different bilateral treaties for bird conservation (with Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Russia). Very few of its provisions affect farmers more than any other citizen, save when bird populations become pests. The act and the associated treaties allow taking of birds to prevent serious injury 'to the agricultural or other interests in any particular community.' As implemented, the practice has been to use non-lethal methods where possible, especially for native species. The control of bird pests is managed by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service'.
