Oregon Game Bird Pigeon

  

Games

Upland game bird is an American term which refers to non-water fowlgame birds in upland regions that are commonly hunted with gun dogs (pointing breeds, flushing spaniels and retrievers).[1][2]

List of kinds[edit]

  • Ptarmigan, common name of birds of the genus Lagopus, species include:
    • Rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) known as ptarmigan in Europe
    • Willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) or willow grouse
    • White-tailed ptarmigan (Lagopus leucura) restricted to United States and Canada

United States[edit]

As of 2013 the population of upland game birds such as pheasants had been falling in agricultural states such as Iowa where increased commodity prices for crops such as corn had resulted in reductions in game habitat in acreage set aside in the Conservation Reserve Program. A significant reduction in the number of hunters over the previous 20 years was also reported.[3]

We stock a terrific selection of more than 30 varieties of the most popular pigeons for sale, including rolling pigeons, racing pigeons and utility pigeons. Be sure to browse through our selection of pigeon supplies to make sure you have everything you need to take care of these wonderful birds. Official 2020 Oregon Game Bird Hunting rules & regulations. Season dates, license info, bag limits and more. This is Oregon's largest pigeon. For some, an occasional visit by one of these beautiful native pigeons is a treasured experience. For others, the voracious appetites of a dozen or more of these birds cleans out the bird seed in no time, and leaves the feeding station owner wondering what to do.
