In ninety-nine casesout of a hundred such introductions will fail in the end, unlessthe introduced birds are protected by law at all times, andeven then many of them will fail.

In the successful case thereare chances that the foreign species will either drive out thenative game birds or introduce some destructive disease amongthem. Nevertheless, there are certain foreign game birds which,if artificially propagated, fed and cared for under condi-tions similar to those to which they have been accustomedin Europe, may thrive even better than native game birdsunder such conditions. In regions where the forests havebeen destroyed and practically all the land has been turnedinto well-cultivated farms, certain foreign game birds may bemade to thrive where Ruffed Grouse, for example, will not.
