Serious question...are they protected only because they are the national bird? I mean they certainly aren't endangered. They're pretty common just about everywhere with water/trees and an unlimited food source.
I should clarify I'm not suggesting they shouldn't be protected and respected, nor should people not get in trouble who intentionally murder them. I'm moreso just pointing out that I see them everywhere, whether I'm in Kansas or up North in Minnesota / Canada.
