Some posters have brought up good points. First, WDFW tells us that it's not legal to trap Collared Doves in Washington. In other words, donated birds will need to be shot, not trapped. We can also come to your property and shoot the birds ourselves if you have a lot of Collared Doves around and it's legal to shoot there.
Another poster brings up a good point that we're most interested in birds that have most of the plumage still intact. However, we can still use birds in pretty rough shape as long as the other requirements listed in the original post are met.
We would like to collect a series of 15 to 25 Collared Doves. Thanks for your continued interest. Please send an email to BurkeCollaredDoves@gmail.com if you are able to help us out or have any specific questions.

WDFW is out there as usual, they say one thing and then another, it's an invasive specie,there is no limit,no season and no licence requirement, yet it isn't allowed to be live trapped? My best guess is there will be a limit,a season, and a fee to shoot them in the near future,it will draw money for highways and byways in the Seattle metropolitan area.

@wildweeds..... nah man, they are classified the same as European Starlings. They are invasive, which means they impact the local wildlife drastically.
They are infact in direct compitition with Band Tailed Pidgeons. and I would assume at some point, these damn new birds will completely displace the band tails to the point of extinsion.
I don't think you'll see a hunting season for them in our lifetime

Would 25 from the same place work? I assume many would be related?

I have a pile of them at my driveway every morning. I will have to break out the .410 and collect a few samples.
