You have to register it with DNR (get a game preserve license) There are certain requirements, such as releasing so many hundreds of birds. The fee used to be around $200.00, but I haven't looked lately.
This answer of course is for Georgia, who knows what they do in Florida.
You also have to check the local zoning, if any, to make sure that it is a permitted use.
