Owl

Poor guy sits all day in the cage at the zoo. Keeping animals is okay, as their enclosures are very very large but keeping such magestic birds in cages is cruel. they keep sitting in here and even forget to fly!

He does not look happy I must say. His bill is way too large to.

Keeping animals is okay, ...

The owl is beautiful, agree with your feelings about it (and with Dick that its beak looks not quite right).

Can't agree keeping animals is okay, often there is no benefit to them and you can see the misery and despair in their eyes. Maybe open range zoos are sort of okay, and if preserving endangered species.

For the deers and tigers it has lot of space. They have bred Leopards too, so in that respect that zoo is justified as it protects endangered species. These birds are also endangered, but I guess instead of a small cage there should be a very very large dome. This will give these birds some freedom atleast.

The Ideal solution is a bird sanctury where birds can live without fear of poaching, but the problem comes when they stray out.
