Description
Volunteers from the Wild Songbird Protection Association, purchase injured and neglected goldfinches at a market in Setif, some 290 kilometres (180 miles) east of the Algerian capital, before treating them and releasing them back the wild. With its vivid plumage and sweet trill, the goldfinch has long been revered in Algeria, but the national obsession has also driven illegal hunting, prompting calls to protect the songbird.
