In a symbolic form, each country’s culture and heritage are reflected in its national symbols. People tend to know more about a country’s symbols than its real location. The selection of a national emblem, such as a national bird, is therefore crucial for government authorities. National birds are carefully chosen for their richness, universality, and distinctiveness. It is unlawful to kill or hurt the country’s national birds in order to protect them from extinction.
