Is this a real law?

Apparently it is. From the City Of Adelaide Local Government Land By-Law 2024:

4.19.4 take, interfere with, tease, harm or disturb any animal, bird, marine creature or insect or the eggs or young of any animal, bird, marine creature or insect

You're welcome. This poster was on the back of a phone box in Rundle Mall. I'm sure the poster is a bit of fun street art and not something the council put up.

Interestingly each year about 10,000 to 12,000 tree martins roost in a small group of trees in Rundle Mall over Summer/Autumn. I thought they'd have migrated elswhere by now but they are still around. It's an amazing sight to walk under the trees in the middle of a city pedestrian mall, and see thousands of little birds chilling out at night. If you search Adelaide tree martins there's a few photos and videos out there.
