Alexandrine parakeet
A bird in a cage is a concept some people find fascinating
and thus there are hundreds of parrots and love birds sold everyday
around India. What many do not realize though is that by buying these
birds they are letting an illegal trade flourish that is killing lakhs
of beautiful birds each year.
According to the organization People for Animals, Rosy ringed
Parakeets are one of the most common illegally traded birds in India.
Every alternate week the organization rescues these birds from trains
and buses on their way to pet markets.
