Can one fairly be judged as a "bad person" or a naval bir'shus haTorah (see bottom) if he actively seeks out opportunities for shilu'ach hakan gratuitously (i.e. does not make use of the young birds)?
The G'mara seems to imply that the mitzva specifically applies to usable birds happened upon by chance. I suppose this does not preclude the possibility for a kiyum (fulfillment) of the mitzva in the absence of one or more of these conditions, but it is still not clear to me whether such activity is recommended.
