REPORT OUT: SURVEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WELFARE CONDITIONS IN BIRD SHOPS

Many of you have written to us reporting on welfare and cruelty cases regarding display and keeping of birds in Singapore. While we truly wish for birds to be free, we cannot overlook the urgent need to recognise the complex needs and diversity of birds being sold and kept as pets, by mandating minimum guidelines for sale and keeping.

ACRES ACIU (Animal Crime Investigation Unit) has just made our report publicly available.

In January 2022, ACRES met with NParks to discuss the recommendations for the review of the pet shop licensing conditions for birds and code of animal welfare for (pet) bird owners. Similar to the animal welfare legislative committee, ACRES proposed focus group discussions to engage relevant stakeholders to improve the welfare conditions of these birds, which NParks welcomed. NParks shared that there is an ongoing review of the pet shop licensing conditions and will look into ACRES’s recommendations. ACRES looks forward to working closely with @NParksbuzz NParks and the relevant stakeholders on the review of licensing and welfare conditions for bird shops and bird owners.

Here are some images providing you a gist of the report. Full report can be found at https://bit.ly/ACRESBirdReport2022
