Reporting Bird Abuse or Neglect

There have been several stories of captive bird neglect in the news recently. Unfortunately, and though we don't like to think about it, abuse and neglect occurs more often that the news reports.

The Avian Welfare Coalition has updated its article called Reporting Bird Abuse or Neglect. This thorough resource offers a wealth of information, including steps that can be taken if you see a bird being abused or neglected.

If you see a bird (or any animal) in dire straights, don't be afraid to speak up. They can't defend themselves, and depend on caring people like you to say something.
