From the Department of Repetitive Redundancies Department

Henderson, Kentucky, appears to REALLY want to protect their birds. Here are two related ordinances:

"Sec. 6-3. Pursuing, injuring, killing of animals and birds.
No person shall shoot at, kill, or otherwise pursue, kill, or injure any squirrel, rabbit or other game, or any songbird, or other bird, or fowl within the limits of the city.
(Code 1968, § 90.05)

Sec. 6-4. Use of birds and fowl as live targets.
No person shall keep or use any live pigeon, fowl or other bird for the purpose of a target, or to be shot at, or as a test of marksmanship, or shoot at any bird or fowl kept or used as beforesaid, or be a party to any such shooting, or knowingly rent any building, shed, room, yard, field or premises or knowingly permit the use of any building, yard, shed, room, field or premises for the purpose of such shooting.
(Code 1968, § 90.06)"

Maybe I miscounted, but I think that was EIGHT times they said "don't shoot at a bird."
