Primary text

If a bird flies through the airspace above one's dwelling and someone shoots and kills it, liability is incurred. This is because the dwelling owner does not possess the right to prevent the bird from utilizing the airspace above their property, making the situation equivalent to shooting the bird in another person's airspace.
