Freedom seekers

The only time I would feel like it's completely appropriate to put a bird in a cage, is if they were injured and weren't able to fly, and needed the help of humans. I also can see how people rescue a lot of birds from pet stores, because I'm sure the bird would much rather have his own cage rather than be in a noisy pet store more than likely being neglected. I guess it really depends on the situation. Under no circumstances do I think it's okay to catch a free bird and cage it for your own enjoyment. No matter how good you treat them, they were born to roam free!

I have traveled to Australia and seen the wild birds. In Pittwater Nation Park I saw some white cockatoos. I saw lots of rainbow lorikeets in Queensland. I saw some galahs playing at a children's slide in Western Australia. My favorite is the Port Lincoln parakeet. It is also called the Twenty Eight bird. Today I saw at a garden center a galah in a cage. Next to her I saw a cockatoo. They both had prices of over £1600. I prefer to see wild birds than keep them in cages. I have pet budgies when I was a child and I let them out to enjoy a fly in the lounge. When I was a teenager my mom had an American friend which moved back home. She gave my mom four rabbits and a pet parrot. He was a white fronted Amazon. He lived from 1987 until 2008 and was a very much loved family pet. I have two pet dogs now and they live in my home. They go out for walks. I wouldn't get anymore caged birds. I prefer seeing wild birds.
