It is simple. It is what the game and fish departments in each state SAYS is, and is not, a game bird. Has nothing to do with reason, just as allowing a .410 to be used legally for waterfowl, but not an 8 gauge, has no sensible reason today.

Many questions like this can be asked, and answered, the same way.
