are Jay's on the protected list?

TriggerPL

No, not that I know of ! But why shoot them? They're not that common.

locum-motion

There is no "protected list". All birds are protected. The only list is the exceptions to the protection ie. a list of seasons when specific species can be shot.

Tommy87

Every wild animal and bird is protected. Game has a season, and every year the minister names certain vermin that can be shot throughout the year.

That is the old 1976 act which which has now been updated in 2000 and 2010. Gulls(apart from licenced people on airfields), Bullfinches, Starlings, Sparrows and Jays are now totally protected. The derogations on the NPWS website list the birds that can be legally controlled. This list now consists of certain corvids and pigeons only.

Sparrow populations have crashed, many different factors but the end result is that there are very few now.
Bullfinches, I couldn't tell you about.

They used to be considered a pest in orchards by feeding on the buds of apple trees etc. In later years it was realized that the level of damage was usually very minor which is why they were then takin off the general list about 20 years ago.
