@El Loro posted:In case you ever wonder why I stopped doing my Bird Sanctuary thread, it was because the BBC published guidelines about their news articles meaning that one's not supposed to copy and paste their articles elsewhere without going to the trouble of getting permission from them (section on reusing content from a BBC website):

The BBC is very protective of its/their funding. If you live in the UK and pay for your TV Licence, they tend to be more forgiving for 'local publication', but are reluctant to permit 'Internet Publication' because this is a 'global network' AFAIK.
Have you considered a 'copy and paste' from/with the 'R.S.P.B.'? This is a 'friendly society' supported by 'donations' and has a 'global network' that may well cover a subject of your interest. However, it's a body that covers both 'animal' and 'plant' subjects (it isn't restricted to 'just birds', it also includes 'other animals').
Here's a thread I opened with them in their 'tea room' when I had a problem with the nesting of Herring Gulls.

You should be able to 'peruse' the site from here/there.
Hope this helps.
