Theological note: Scripture grants humanity a stewardship over creation, including the care of living creatures, so conservation of birds and their habitats is a legitimate concern of civil order. The measure's relevance lies in ordinary stewardship and community cooperation rather than any direct moral question about human life, justice, or the protection of persons.
