Which Act manages migratory birds in Canada?

1. The Migratory Birds Convention Act

2. The Wildlife Act

3. The Birds Protection Act

4. The Environmental Conservation Act

The correct answer is: The Migratory Birds Convention Act

The Migratory Birds Convention Act is the primary legislation in Canada that manages the protection and conservation of migratory birds. This act was developed in partnership with the United States and serves to regulate the hunting, capture, and possession of migratory birds, as well as protect their habitats. Option B, the Wildlife Act, is a provincial legislation that may have some measures for migratory birds, but it does not have the same level of authority and scope as the Migratory Birds Convention Act. Option C, the Birds Protection Act, is not a valid act in Canada and does not exist. Option D, the Environmental Conservation Act, may have some provisions for migratory birds, but it is not the main legislation that specifically focuses on their protection and management.
