    Definitely pity his neighbours.. parrots or macaw birds are super noisy even throughout the night.. i had this bad experience when i used to stay at Yishun riverwalk 335A during late 2014 - mid 2020.. even staying in the lower floor, my upper floor neighbour collection of parrots and macaws made super noisy chirping sound throughout the day.. super frustating and annoying.. luckily i sold off the flat after 5 years M.O.P... good luck to all.

    Nice idea, my only comment is that it would be better to have horizontal space for parrots to fly, not just vertical space. So a horizontal hutch where you can build cabinets below is better, and cleaning the trays would be at a more reachable ergonomic height.
    For those saying birds need to fly free, have you ever really considered how merciless nature can be? We stand on the ground watch birds fly and think they are free, when in reality in the wild they have to spend a lot of energy to fly and escape predators, constantly stressed and watching for danger, a lot of external and internal parasites, they get diseases, their babies get eaten, they have to drink water contaminated from human activities, food have to forage and thanks to climate change its unpredictable, if it rains hard no need to eat today because its too wet and spend energy shivering.... if the owner is responsible and meets the bird's needs, they live a very happy life without worry of food, with good access to medical, and they will PLAY a lot.

    All the hate comments have to common sense. when birds are used to being with humans, they cant be let go into the wild as they dont know how to survive. also not all parrot owners keep their birds in the cage 24/7. Some trains their parrot to freefly indoor and outdoor. not all parrot owners are bad uk. 😔😔

No doubt they might survive outside but they will soon be bullied by crows and due to that they get drowned to depression and will pass on. More over this is my first time seeing a sanctuary with ample of space for the parrots to move around. So in that way it's quite usual.
