National Birds Day is celebrated every year to raise awareness about the birds that are captured, brutally treated or produced in captivity for financial gain and pleasure. It is illegal and morally wrong to hold birds or animals in captivity and we must work to ensure that they have a better life.
The theme of this year’s National Birds Day is ‘Right To Fight’. It resonates with the flight of a bird that symbolises freedom. With this campaign, the Avian Welfare Coalition aims to reduce the suffering of birds by raising public awareness of the destructive bird trade, the realities of cruel bird breeding mills and the ways to improve the welfare of birds already in captivity.
