His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche has just built an aviary in Tsem Ladrang. The purpose of the aviary is to train up the students to take care of animals, and in this case, birds. It has always been His Eminence's dream to have an animals sanctuary where animals can be well taken care of, especially those which are ill-treated, sick, or abandoned. 

According to His Eminence, the manifestation of the animals sanctuary will enable us to connect with beings of another realm, the animal realm, therefore having an aviary is a starting point. Besides an aviary, there are also many aquariums in Tsem Ladrang and other Dharma Houses. With these effort of taking care of birds and fishes, which will most likely not show any appreciation no matter how much care we show them, may we develop unconditional and truly selfless love to all sentient beings, and may having these aviary and aquariums create the causes for the future Kechara Aniamls Sanctuary to manifest. 

His Eminence said "We don't care if we are happy to have the birds and fishes around us, we just want the animals themselves to be happy." 

These five Sun Conures are siblings. Initially only two were purchased from the pet shop, but His Eminence was concerned that the birds were separated, thus in the end the remaining three were also purchased days later so that the birds can reunite as a family. When all the five birds eventually met each other in Tsem Ladrang's aviary, they were literally screaming away with ecstacy! 


In addition to Sun Conures, there are also Cockatiels, Love Birds and a Cockatoo in the aviary.
