SYNOPSIS:

Poached exposes an obsession that can wipe out a species of birds:  illegal egg collecting.  Egg thieves rob the nests of rare birds while a United Kingdom national police initiative named “Operation Easter” tries to stop them. The thieves are motivated not by money but by desire for the beauty of the egg and the thrill of the chase. Thousands of eggs confiscated in police raids have been found strapped under beds, beneath floorboards, and in secret rooms. With unprecedented access, Poached reveals the underworld of illegal bird egg collecting by following convicted egg offenders as they confront their destructive obsession and nature's army of bird lovers who try to stop them.
