Compendium of Canada's engagement in international environmental agreements and instruments. Convention for the Protection of Migratory Birds in the United States and Canada.: En4-381/3-3-2018E-PDF
"This Convention is an international agreement signed by the United States and Canada to protect migratory birds. In 1916, when the convention was signed, it only protected migratory birds considered either useful or harmless to humans; many species of migratory birds were excluded due to their “undesirability” to humans. The convention was signed to ensure the protection of migratory birds, their eggs, and their nests as many common species were in large decline or declared extinct, such as the Passenger Pigeon"--Plain language summary.
