Birds and the law

Some bird species are recognized as a public health threat, or are classed as an agricultural pest. We work closely with local authorities before deciding any method of bird control.

The Spanish Law 4/1989 (Conservación de los Espacios Naturales y de la Flora y Fauna Silvestres) gives information about protected bird species and of those species at risk.
