I was observing their behaviour for quite a long time.

They moved from place to place, setting up their "artificial" scene, placing and replenishing the bait and taking "excellent" photos.

They broke a number of tree branches and left the bait after taking their photos.

Are there any regulations that can coercively stop their nasty behaviour ?

Hard to it is really nasty.

In Europe, bird table and feeders are common (involving no photo-taking).

As long as the food provided will not have negative impacts on birds, and there is no hygiene problem, it is hard to say they are nasty.

In any case, I don't think that is honorable.
Do you think those photographers will come out and admit that their work is taken using bait?

To everyone,

Well, what I saw is that the group of people kept making such artificial "scene" and baiting the bird at different locations in LV.

Yes. These birds should be perched on something more natural, like a fence post or overhead wire......
