We recently spent a lovely holiday at Ta' Cenc Hotel in Gozo.

We booked this via "Headlands" holidays and enjoyed walking our way around the island, except for the heartbreaking sight of the small birds entrapped in minute cages.

It was obvious the trappers were aware of the disgust on our faces. We realise money has to be earned and cultures respected, but surely not at the expense of poor harmless creatures who have as much right to live as we do!

For goodness' sake do something to help. Those little birds cannot protest but we two human Parrots would like to think we are crying out on their behalf.
