The document discusses urban bird conservation efforts in Indonesia. It notes that birds are good indicators of environmental quality and many cities still have high bird populations and diversity. Challenges include decreasing the negative impacts of wild bird keeping and encouraging captive breeding. Studies are examining bird keeping practices and regulations as well as messaging to promote conservation. The document advocates developing "bird friendly cities" and residences that provide ecological functions and habitat to support urban wildlife like birds. Conservation practices encouraged include food and shelter provision, developing green spaces, and improving urban ecology.
