THE BIRD AVIARY

Cage v/s Aviary An aviary is a large enclosure mimicking a natural environment for the containment of birds. Aviaries provide the bird a more natural environment to grow in. The birds which mature in an aviary learn basic skills like flying & pecking. Socializing skills among other birds can only be developed in an aviary.

AWARENESS INITIATIVES DLF SAKET

What Can YOU do? Volunteer at an animal care centre like SGACC, Friendicoes or Fauna Police. In summers, keep water for birds outside your homes. Adopt dogs & cats, but not birds (if you can’t afford a aviary). Simple acts like switching to soy/almond milk (which is anyways more healthier).

Volunteering Opportunities Home Checks before a dog’s adoption Urgent Rescue Operations Undertake You Animal First Aid can visit the Dogs’ Inn regularly and help them in managing the dogs if you live in and around Noida.
