Aloha all,

Here are the rules for keeping pigeons in Hawaii.

The law (HRS 142-103) also limits the number of pigeons in possession of an
owner, or person acting for an owner, that can be exercised, trained or
raced. For areas zoned residential or for hotel and apartment uses, a person
can possess, exercise, train or race not more that twenty-five (25) pairs of
pigeons. In areas zoned for other land uses, not more that two hundred
(200) pigeons can be flown for necessary exercise, training ,and racing.
Show pigeons, which are not allowed to fly free, do not have to abide by any
numeric limitations.

So folks, just in case you run into problems with your neighbors, at least
you have the correct information to use for your defense.

[Addendum: To be "legal" you have to apply for a Pigeon/Aviary game bird
permit and renew it every three years.]
