The provided article text does not actually contain the story about the island bird harvest ban — it consists only of the Daily Mail's website navigation, headlines for unrelated stories, and page furniture, with no substantive content about the 500-year-old bird harvest or the "quango" that banned it. As a result, no reliable, fact-based summary of this specific story can be produced from the material supplied.

To provide an accurate summary, the actual body text of the article (detailing which island, which bird species, which regulatory body imposed the ban, and the reasons given) would be needed. Without that information, any account of dates, figures, or context would risk being inaccurate or fabricated.
