Visits
- 2023-03-16: Enjoy some photos of "Sensitive Species" Wild birds are captured to be sold in pet markets. This trade is driving many species toward extinction in the wild. I would normally share a better location for photos, but poachers can use that information to target especially interesting birds for these markets.
- 2025-08-08: Another visit to Malaysia. The caged bird trade is not nearly as bad here as in Indonesia.
