Ban the sale of caged birds.
Please support a ban on the sale of caged birds. We think confining birds in small cages ignores their need for space, social interaction, and freedom to fly, harming their welfare. Let’s end this outdated practice and prioritize the humane treatment of animals.

Background
Please support a ban on selling caged birds. We think keeping birds in small cages ignores their natural needs for space, social interaction, and freedom to fly, leading to stress and poor quality of life. We think this outdated practice treats intelligent, social creatures as commodities. We think we have a chance to set an example in ethical animal treatment by banning selling caged birds. Prioritise animal welfare and ensure birds can live freely in environments that meet their needs.
