I want to work on pesticides and heavy metal contamination in egret, which is a least concerned bird in red data book, but is an important bird in agricultural system.
i need 4-5 ml blood from this bird and some eggs (4-5). what are the laws that i shall follow before perusing my experiment.
if i need to take permission from some government agency or some thing like that?
Hello Sachin.
If working in the US you will likely need a USFWS permit through the Migratory Birds office. Of course you will need IACUC approval through your university. Information for avian research and permits in the US can be found http://www.fws.gov/pacific/migratorybirds/permits/scientists.html
If working outside of the US, I cannot advise.
Good luck in your research!

Thanks C.Loren Buck Sir for your valuable suggestion, But I am working in India.
Hi,
First you need to take approval from your college/university IAEC. Then you also need to take approval from Chief Conservator of Forest of your state for this study.
