WORLD Parrot Day, which falls on May 31, highlights the threat to the bird species.
Parrots are intelligent, charismatic, colourful and their ability to imitate human speech has endeared them to humans.
In Malaysia, the Kuala Lumpur Free Fly Community (KLFF) was incepted by a group of bird lovers in early 2020. It has 40 members.
The group holds free fly sessions, where the birds are allowed to return to the skies unrestricted, on weekends.
The birds carry a ring with their owner’s phone number in case they get lost. – May 31, 2022.
