If you find a fallen birds nest, are you allowed to take it home?
I understand there are loads of animal protection laws and many protected species out there. But are their fallen, unusable and exposed nests fair game to take?
Does it depend on the bird species? the usability of the nest?
My dad used to collect bird eggs. He'd blow them and keep them in display cases when he was a kid, this was in the 70's. He also collected nests I think, but never killed the birds or anything.. just nicked the eggs. Is this also illegal? or legal depending on the species?
Thanks in advance for any help.
