LET BIRDS FLY FREE CAMPAIGN
Let birds fly free, spearheaded by the team at Ticketslk.com and under the guidance of the Young Zoologist Association of Sri Lanka is a campaign dedicated and devoted to the cause of freeing caged birds to where they belong.

ecosystem and birds contribute immensely to our wellbeing and the survival of our environment. By oxygenating air and transforming pollutants into nutrients, they are a constant value addition to our habitat. Unfortunately, as society evolved and environmental conditions depleted; birds have been subjected to extremely vulnerable conditions. Increasingly, birds endemic to Sri Lanka such as Sparrows, Munias and Pigeons are being smuggled and sold illegally at various locations across the country in an attempt to make money by robbing them of their freedom.

The wrist bands can be purchased online through the ticketslk.com website and also by simply visiting their office at 5th Lane, Colombo 03. By using the money raised, the campaign organizers plan to print awareness material including posters and placards targeting schools in order to create the much needed platform
