Default legal to hunt small birds?????????

Hi everyone... I called the Florida Wildlife Commosion today to ask about the legality of using air rifles to hunt with in florida, just to double check... it is legal to use, so that's good. I also asked if it was legal to take unprotected non-game birds. They said it was not legal. Have you all heard of this or have I just been out of the loop? Do they really enforce this? There are millions of little sparrows and mockingbirds and grackles and things around, and I was planning on "getting rid" of them, but now i guess i may just have to live with them. I have plinked birds in my yard back home since I was a little boy, I never would have dreamed it might be illegal. What is your take on this? Is it maybe just illegal on WMAs and not private land? Please let me know... thanks!!!
