我們已經與漁護署聯絡跟進這個案，他們也收到類似的報告，並一直有留意及監察相關的問題。若果資料足夠，他們便會作出執法及檢控。
本會藉此呼籲大家〔並提醒你的朋友〕切勿購買受保護的雀鳥作寵物，以免助長非法的雀鳥貿易，導致野外族群因過度捕獵而滅絕。
We have reported this incident to the AFCD. They have also received similar cases from the public and have been monitoring such activities. If there is adequate information, they will take corresponding enforcement actions.
We would like to take this opportunity to urge people (and remind your friends) not to buy protected birds as pets, in order to prevent fueling the illegal pet trade and facilitating the over-exploitation of the wild population which then leads to species extinction.
