This is why human kind is being punished with pandemic etc… Very inhuman way.

I’ve never understood keeping birds as pets. How many people answer ‘flying’ as their would-be super power? We’re smitten with the thought of being up in the air, carefree, flying on the wind! But we strip that power away from these lucky creatures who have it? Caging them? 😡

Why is that even allowed ? People are selling birds openly in delhi markets roaming around everywhere showcased in cages.
