According to New York's state license roster updated August 25, Birdsong Hemp Company's license status changed to inactive. However, official license records show three separate Birdsong Hemp Company permits currently listed as active: an Adult-Use Cultivator License (OCM-CULT-24-000039), an Adult-Use Processor License (OCM-PROC-24-24-000072), and an Adult-Use Distributor License (OCM-DIST-24-000117). The discrepancy between roster status and individual license records suggests either a data lag or a specific subset of Birdsong's operations being discontinued.

The closure comes amid broader churn in New York's cannabis supply chain. State records show at least five other operators deactivated in recent days—Humble Hill Farm LLC, Bison Botanics, pioneer plant tech, Real Life Botanicals, and The Greenery—while simultaneously registering three ownership transfers and two new licensees. New York maintains 877 retail locations, 249 cultivators, and 509 manufacturers as of the latest count.

The status mismatch warrants monitoring: whether Birdsong's individual licenses remain enforceable or undergo full suspension will clarify the actual scope of the shutdown and its effect on licensed supply chains dependent on the company's distribution role.
