No, but I think you might need proof that you're not shooting wild birds.

I would almost wonder if you would get in trouble for releasing exotics?

In the past when I bought birds I was told that I needed to have the reciept and that the birds had to be banded or toe clipped or otherwise distiquishable from wild birds.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

That is correct.

How would you prove you didn't put the band on?  I have shot raised birds and still have the bands from them.  I could put them on other birds.

would this fall into the world of private hunting reserves & if so would there be permits or licences required of the property owner or operator?

I think you are not correct.  Anyone raising game birds needs a license.

absolutely not. thousands of pen raised birds are killed for dog training all year long.
if you are on public land there is a dog training season in some areas so you do not disturb nesting birds.

as far as proof goes... I have never been asked proof of anything by a gamey while training on public land with pen raised birds. your mileage may differ.
all my training has been done in western washington where exotic pheasants, bobwhite quail, and chukars are not indigenous.

I don't see where it states that purchasing game birds without a license is illegal.....  Also... I don't know if the guys has a game farm license or not...  I would adume if he would be required to have one than he does.... :dunno:
