Isn't it illegal to disturb any bird/ animal nest or babies during nesting season? Not just endangered. It is also illegal to take as pet any animal from nature here, no matter if they are endangered or not. If thye are injured or sick, you can treat them but they must be released or delivered to authorities.
And on the endangered species, the Cites-contract of course. Appendix-lists with animals, birds and plant that can't be brought to EU area unless they have papers that they have been bred in captivity, and so forth. I know that people can't sell even a stuffed endangered birds (like certain owls) unless they have cites-certificate.
Maybe it is, if you had started the conversation by something like "so you're twisted and sick idiot from Hausjärvi, neh? Wow, you look almost human! Wouldn't imagine you can be that weird" :D
These comments are correct, if not, then they should be. For my original response I was only reading the laws and statutes on endangered and otherwise protected. Items that concern wildlife can be found in hunting statutes, animal rights acts, and a few other tangential legistlations.
I wasn't able to find on quick search the general prohibition of disturbance of nesting; however, it can be derived from the prohibition of disturbing nesting of game species and the prohibition of protected species; a claim can be made that when approaching a nesting area it is not possible to avoid disturbing all the hatching activities there, not only the unprotected species. I haven't made a thorough search yet, though.
I came through this when I searched for keeping species that live in nature to the country (I've no clue on English word for that. Luonnonvarainen.) In the law it was stated that when an animal is injured or ill, it can be taken in and cared back to health, but then must be released back into wild or if it cannot live in wild, killed. On same time I also found the disturbing of nesting, which is of help when convincing people not to take baby birds or rabbits from wild, but of course I didn't save the links *smacks head*
Could it b found with "rauhoitettu" -search word? If I remember correctly, the wording was "rauhoitettuja ovat myös pesät ja poikaset pesimiskautena" (=protected are also nests and babies during breeding season). It also forbade collecting eggs from nest.
There are points of protection and then occasionally it gets a little insane, where I'm from it's a one car road and the protection of the birds means that sometimes the sides of the roads get dangerous for cyclists from the overgrown brambles which can't be cut until after the breeding season... which is defined very vaguely, march until sometimes september, nasty cuts can ensue and have for me on occasions.
Eeep. thet is one hefty flock. Nope, didn't catch that one, we rarely have time to drive to see natural birds in wild. Most we have to do with them is when people bring the injured ones here. But seeing that makes me wish I had seen it. Must be even more impressive in the wild.
Makes me wonder how the flocks of passenger pigeons must have looked like.
