Every person who brings or causes to be brought into this state live domestically reared resident game birds shall have such birds inspected for disease and health conditions by the Department of Fish and Game unless the shipment is accompanied by a certificate from a licensed veterinarian at the point of origin stating that the birds are disease free. Written notice shall be given ten days in advance of all shipments, to the director, showing the date and place of arrival and stating whether or not the birds will be accompanied by a certificate of inspection. Game birds will be rejected for release if found diseased or altered in any manner which would, in the opinion of the department, render them incapable of surviving in the wild. Any birds rejected for release will be kept, destroyed, or returned to the place of origin by the importer at his sole cost and responsibility.
