The despised and oppressed can use wisdom and peaceful deliberations instead of excess force to liberate themselves from shackles of oppressive leadership. Support this idea with examples from 'Parliament of Owls' by Adipo Sidang."

people who are maltreated and downtrodden can rise against all odds to bring change without necessarily being involved in violence.

 Oyundi, the Fire- Finch, the leader of day birds and enemy of Royal Trees is a liberator of the bird's kingdom. Oyundi is determined to liberate the birds' kingdom from corrupt leadership and become the enemy of Royal trees. Tel Tel says, '...you cannot even get hold of her with all your heads together! You Owls spend sleepless nights because of her(Pg12). Oyundi mobilizes the day birds into action, she says, while standing at the foot of Arum Tidi's grave briefly in silence, 'rest in peace, Arum Tidi, the day birds, this is the time to rise and take back our kingdom! Let us forget about our past and stay united' (Pg80). Later, she summoned the hiding birds and tells them she has a plan and them to play it perfectly because she is the mother of all tricks a student of Ogila Nyakarondo (pg81). The plan is to kick out the Parliament of Owls and build a new institution in a trance, shining a light over them (pg82). She makes them imagine the new institution (pg82) she makes them passing the sunshine bill to protect all the birds (pg83). She tells Osogo to call the birds to action in the morning with her flute. Her song must praise the Royal Owl to fool him into trusting them (pg87). And she urges the birds to sacrifice today for a better tomorrow (pg88). She says.' If we want to have a kingdom in which birds feel comfortable. Safe and secure, which a sense of belonging and identify, we must built that kingdom with the right material. We must change our laws and have first representations in our parliament. We start by uniting for one purpose; then we befriend our enemy... And strike when they least expect( pg92). Oyundi helps the birds to stage a coup and eventually liberate the birds' kingdom,' it is time to free our kingdom from the cruel oppression rule of owls' (pg124). Then later Oyundi declared.' It is time to chase the owls out of the parliament and sing songs for final liberation. As she pounces on Royal Owl who makes a cowardly cry and takes off. Eventually, Oyundi declares bird kingdom a real democracy.

Tel tel, the woodpecker is a royal revolutionist. Red String and other Owls wanted Tel Tel to spread propaganda about the befits of the Moonlight Bill to the birds but in real sense, the bill was meant to protect Money Bags and Royal Owl as they loot public resources. The bill was also oppressive to birds because it limited their freedoms like roll call hours from 10p.m to 6 pm, banning twittering with crickets and banning flying from tree to tree. Tel Tel says, I told you I am not interested. I have to stand with other birds. They say you are hooting looting, screaming and squawking, boasting and belching we watch hunger-stricken' pg6. Tel Tel later tells Red String,' I will not do it. You betrayed me, remember? I cannot rise to spread propaganda anymore, especially on behalf of the wicked Parliament of Owls (pg11). Tel Tel tells Red String... can you hear the birds singing? They are not just singing; they rehearsing the freedom song. Do not preoccupy yourself with arresting me because I have declined your offer (pg13). Tel Tel is eventually arrested for failing to spread the propaganda Red String was advocating. She is arrested by the police Owl but somehow, she manage to free herself and I present during the coup to stir up struggle for Money Bags who is dismissed by Royal Owl setting in motion the eventual revolution.

Iron Lady Owl is the defender of justice and bird's rights. She calls out Red String for being a puppet of Money Bags (pg27). She points out to Mr. Speaker the self-serving leadership of Royal Owl who eats lizards every night while other birds cannot find water and have to fly kilometers to find water (pg28). She points out to the speaker,' this parliament is supposed to uplift the dignity of this kingdom... (pg29) and for this, she is thrown out of the parliament, she tells the speaker.' Mr. Speaker, I am reliably informed that this new law is a secret plot by Money Bags to loot funds from the coffers of birds and channel them to his private investments in unknown trees in deep forest. By passing this law, you have inaugurated theft and robbery with violence, because that is actually what will happen.

Little P. is a reporter and an analyst of the political situation in the bird's kingdom. She is an employee of Birds Eye-view Television Network. She tells Osogo and Tel Tel about Money bags schemes to get the security tender. 'Money Bags tricked the crows and the vultures to be impartial regarding the contest between the two flock of birds to secretly award the tender to Olik Tiga (pg68). She also report to Osogo, Tel Tel and Ochongorio that Oyundi was declared an enemy of parliament of Owl and by extension, the kingdom of birds (pg69). She is also the one that reveals that ArumTidi had a damning dossier on serious scandal which implicates Money Bags and Royal Trees and the warning from Money Bags to all birds to stop speculating about death of Arum Tidi (pg69). She also points out during the Unity Pact Ceremony how most birds do not want to speak about these sensitive issues like the death of Arum Tidi because Money Bags is the king's blue-eyed bird (pg106).

Osogo is honest and determined, in the end justice favour him. When Osogo is perched on a stone engrossed in his flute, Red String disturbs him with his stealth movements. He tells Red String, 'It is not even dusk yet. You break the same rules your parliament makes. (pg1). Osogo then accused Red String of suppressing the truth and in his honesty, he says, A time is coming when all this will come to an end and all birds will a sane parliament (pg2). He is not happy that Omnivores and night birds continue to kill grain eaters and day birds for the sake of protecting the kingdom and the parliament of Owls does nothing. All they do is pass laws that favors the Owls. Osogo accuses Red String and other Royal Tree Owl's foe spreading propaganda and that because of them the kingdom is safe, and that their neighbours the Royal Tree Owls invite to night feasts to feed on the flesh of the fellow birds. (pg4). Osogo tells Red string about python who is a friend of their court yet they used him to punish enemies by throwing them into his cave (pg4). When snake raids the bird's nest in broad daylight, it is Osogo and other courageous birds that fought them with the service of Ochunglo and the ants.

In conclusion, the essay demonstrates how resilience,unity  and non-violent resistance and proper strategy can achieve meaningful and just reform.
