Community Guidelines | Birds Galaxy

The spirit of Birds Galaxy

Birds Galaxy is a home for everyone who loves birds, from first-time keepers to experienced breeders. These guidelines keep it friendly, useful and safe. They apply to everything on Birds Galaxy: posts, stories, reels, comments, messages, profiles and marketplace listings.

Be respectful

Disagree about care or breeding methods politely. Everyone was a beginner once.
No threats, harassment, bullying or personal attacks. Our system automatically flags threats and abusive language in comments.
No hate speech, or attacks on people based on who they are.
Do not share other people's private information, such as phone numbers or addresses, without permission.

Put bird welfare first

Do not post content that shows, encourages or makes fun of cruelty, neglect or fighting.
Graphic images of injury or illness are allowed only when asking for help or teaching others, and should be clearly described in the caption.
Do not promote capturing wild birds, or keeping or trading species that are protected where you live.

Be honest

Post your own photos and videos, or give credit and have permission to share someone else's.
Do not pretend to be another person, breeder or organisation.
Describe birds truthfully, including species, mutation, age and health.
No fake accounts, fake reviews, or trading between your own accounts to earn a Verified Seller badge.

Content that is not allowed

Nudity or sexual content.
Violence against people, or content that promotes it.
Spam, chain messages, or misleading links.
Scams, including asking for payment for birds that do not exist.
Selling anything illegal, or anything other than birds and bird-keeping items in the marketplace.

Tools to protect yourself

Block someone to make you and them invisible to each other.
Restrict or mute accounts you want to hear less from.
Turn off comments on any of your posts, delete comments on your posts, or hide a comment just for yourself.
Make your account private so only approved followers see your posts.
Choose who can message you.
Report any post, comment, account or listing that breaks these guidelines.

What happens when rules are broken

Depending on how serious it is, we may:

Send a warning.
Hide the content so that only its author can see it.
Remove the content for everyone.
Limit features, such as marketplace listings or messaging.
Suspend or permanently remove the account.

If you believe we made a mistake, email us and we will review it.
