Which falconry activity is considered illegal?

Hunting during nesting season is considered illegal because it can have significant negative impacts on bird populations. During this time, many bird species are actively engaged in breeding and caring for their young, making them particularly vulnerable. Harvesting or hunting these birds can lead to declines in populations and disrupt local ecosystems. Wildlife regulations are in place to protect birds during critical periods like nesting, ensuring sustainable practices and the conservation of wildlife. Other activities listed, such as using bait to lure birds or taking feathers without a permit, may have their regulations and guidelines, but hunting during nesting season directly threatens bird populations and is therefore strictly prohibited.
