Habitat conservation is the key to the survival of all wild species. But sometimes it is necessary to take birds from the wild and breed them in captive conditions for reintroduction into the wild. Examples are the Sandhill Crane, California Condor, and Peregrine Falcon. For the Spotted Owl, preservation of habitat has been the major emphasis. Photo: Aviary, NZ

Ornithology.com does not encourage or condone the keeping of wild birds in cages although sometimes it is necessary for the birds' survival. If you decide to keep a bird, keep a species that has been bred in captivity for a long time such as parakeets or canaries.
