Yes this is true.

That means we can all go out and kill as many as we
like (Just because I said this doesn't mean I support
or condone it, and no I am not going to open that can
of worms for further discussion.) Just gotta watch
out for firearms restrictions where you live. Rock
Doves are not protected either.
