The film and production crew of "Star Wars Episode 7" has made its way to Skellig Michael Island in Ireland for a three-day shoot for the upcoming movie.

Although director J.J. Abrams has permission to shoot in the area, bird conservative group members have expressed their concern over "Star Wars" shooting during the island's bird mating season, reports The New York Daily News.

"They've gotten their permissions, but we're curious about what precautions they are taking to protect the nests," Dr. Steve Newton of BirdWatch Ireland told Radio Kerry.

The month of July marks breeding season for the birds that flock to Skellig Island. According to the Telegraph, Skellig is home to colonies of puffins, peregrine, falcons, Manx shearwaters, and guillemots.

Although the island attracts many tourists, no humans actually live there. The island is traditionally home for the birds, but with the "Star Wars" cast and crew currently invading the island, the birds may experience great disturbance during their mating season.

"It would have been preferable if filming took place out of the breeding season, in September, when I believe it was originally scheduled," Dr Newton continued. "It seems a little inappropriate to do it during July."

Newton added, "A lot of technicians, crewmembers and actors will be stomping around the island and really don't know what the effect will be on the birds."

While filming on the Island, the "Star Wars" cast and crew will be granted complete privacy and seclusion. The island will be "on lockdown," reports The Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail adds "that all B&Bs and hotels in the area have already been booked out for the week. Kerry tour boat operators, which usually bring tourists to the majestic island on a daily basis, will not be sailing today, tomorrow or on Wednesday."
