Absolutely. Birds aren’t decor—they’re wild, smart, and loud for a reason. Locking them up or ‘freeing’ them to die is just lazy cruelty. People need to stop treating animals like disposable hobbies. Ring-necked parakeet spotted in the Ticino sky—this is a problem for another bird...news that doesn't surprise me...

@evelynefoerster@swiss.social Brother-in-law had a large parrot for years. It had the "run" of their large house. Its cage was always open so that it could go in to feed. If he was sitting in an armchair reading the paper it would sit on the back of the chair and pull out his hairs one by one. It was constantly feuding with the dog, plucking at it when it was snoozing and cackling with obvious enjoyment when it growled in protest.
