It is illegal to collect the eggs of wild birds. According to Federal Law No. (24) of 1999, hunting, capturing, or harming wild birds and their nests is prohibited. Violating this law can lead to imprisonment and fines ranging from Dh2,000 to Dh20,000.
Ensuring the safety of the birds and protecting them is our responsibility, authorities reminded. The agency called on the public to avoid collecting eggs and report any such activity to the emirate's government on the toll-free number, 800555.
