Mega daughter in law Upasana Kamineni Konidela’s unconditional love towards animals is well known to everyone. She is part of many NGO’s, recognized organizations that stand for animal rights and Upasana herself has multiple animal shelter farmhouses where injured animals are taken care of.
Today Mega daughter in law has mentioned some really interesting facts about Rama Chiluka that many are unaware of and take the beautiful birds for granted by keeping them in a cage as a prop in house. She has shared a lengthy post pointing important things about Psittacula krameria through her Instagram account to start a change as
“ Did u know the “Rama Chiluka (Psittacula krameri) or rose-ringed parakeet” is the state bird of Andhra Pradesh! ( not parrot ) . Did u know “Krishna Jinka or blackbuck “ is the state animal of Andhra Pradesh! Did u know that caging any Indian parrot/parakeet 🦜 is illegal & one can receive a punishment of up to 6 years imprisonment? The first step towards protecting wildlife is to be aware! Parrots / Parakeets are meant to fly – not be caged for our amusement or read our fortune! Do ur bit – report or release any caged bird. @wwfindia Thank you @avigowariker @makeupbyaliyabaig @tanghavri for supporting this cause. 🦜👍🏼 No animals/birds were harmed. The bird incorporated using graphics .”
