Case Description: The Wild Life Act of 1954

A shopkeeper namedMohsin Kamal displayed eggs of Africangrey parrot in hisshop.It has been illegal to take the eggs of most wild birds since the Protection of Birds Act 1954 and it is illegal to possess or control any wild birds' eggs taken since that time under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.It is illegal to sell any wild bird's egg, irrespective of its age. The defendant argued that a display of anything in a show window is simply an offer to treat and this means that, under contract law, it is the customer who makes the offer to buy the eggs. Here the court considered that Parliament knew the technical law, at Common Law, of the term 'offer'.The court simply said that the display of pets is only an invitation to treat not an offer.
