For the first time ever, the USDA has proposed a set of care standards that would protect millions of captive birds. This is a historic step -- but we're not done yet.

ACT NOW: The proposed standards had a few glaring, deal-breaker omissions. And we didn’t come all this way to settle for less.

Barring the medical needs of individual birds, these care standards are non-negotiable:

1. NO physical mutilations
2. NO tethering
3. YES to flight
4. INCLUDE pet shops

Tell USDA to PROTECT BIRDS and include these critical standards.
