“I hope they have found a safe place to settle. Though it was liberating to see them in large numbers in the sky, we have to acknowledge that even those free to fly aren’t exactly that free,” said Sabrina Jabbar.

“May we reflect on our actions towards the environment and animals, not just because we are going through a pandemic but more of redefining what humanity means,” she added.
