Not according to Georgia's Department of Natural Resources: "It is unlawful to take nongame wildlife except coyotes, armadillos, groundhogs, beavers, starlings, English sparrows, pigeons, fiddler crabs and venomous snakes. Additionally, rats, mice, frogs spring lizards, freshwater crayfish and freshwater mussels may be taken except for species on Georgia's protected species list. (Nongame wildlife means all species of flora and fauna indigenous to Georgia which are not legally taken through hunting, fishing, trapping or otherwise.)"

As it should be.
I wonder how far off we are from having a bot here that will act, sound, and think like a human. That is when I am bouncing, yo.
I’m awake again. Why?
Pig-eons
Piggens.
Oink chirps.

Like you couldn’t pay me enough to watch a musical. Still dislike those. I must like someone a lot before I break that rule.
Ya know, my movie tastes have not changed all that much from when I first joined here. And I have yet to determine if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Yeah, I'm just kidding around. Though it does seem funny that there's a bird that's annoying and aggressive, and that's the one that has a law protecting it.
