Résumé

This Chapter of the Code of Virginia concerns nuisance birds. It defines “nuisance birds” as blackbirds, red-winged blackbirds, grackles, cowbirds, pigeons, and starlings, or any other species so declared by regulations of the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services of Virginia when causing or about to cause economic losses in the Commonwealth of Virginia; becoming detrimental to the public health and welfare; and defacing or defiling public or private property or otherwise creating a public nuisance. The Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services shall conduct investigations and surveys to determine economic losses or public nuisances caused by nuisance birds and may develop a plan of action. The Commissioner may also provide technical assistance to persons for the suppression of any nuisance birds; appoint an advisory committee to evaluate facts in any particular situation and to make recommendations; receive a complaint of a nuisance bird problem from an individual property owner, tenant, or sharecropper, and make an investigation and determine the degree of assistance required; and provide assistance and cooperate with federal agencies, other state agencies, other states, political subdivisions of the Commonwealth, public and private agencies, organizations, institutions, and persons in the exercise of the duties imposed upon him by this Chapter.
