He focuses on building awareness, advocating for harsher penalties, and research to support changes to regulations. He gave the examples of bluebirds showing up in Europe, as well as the popularization of keeping owls as pets after the Harry Potter movies became so well-known. One of the research methods Shepherd and his team employ is visiting the vast wildlife markets in countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.Indonesia is the biggest source of captured wild songbirds, and the biggest consumer, explained Shepherd, who has witnessed species appear and disappear from these markets as they become popular and then extinct. As the birds become more rare, they become more valuable.
