Question. Why does eBird allow reports of captive/domestic birds to be reported? I don't get that. I was shown by a friend a report of a dozen or so Barnacle Geese seen at the Bronx Zoo which are obviously not wild birds. Why would someone report that in the first place and why would eBird allow it? Doesn't seem right. Andrew Andrew v. F.
