| How would you like to live like this? |
Why do you keep me in this cage? I don't understand you. You tell me you love me. I don't believe you. I don't believe you at all. You say you love your kids too, but you don't imprison them in cages. You say you love your husband, but he doesn't have to live in a cage. Why me? What did I ever do to you? I've never hurt any person or animal. I've never stolen anything. I've never robbed a bank. I'm not a terrorist. I don't understand why I'm locked in this cage.
Are you jealous of me? Are you jealous of my ability to fly? Is this your response to that jealousy? To imprison me in a cage so I can't fly? It's not my fault I can fly. I was born to have this advantage. And I guess you were born to have the ability to take it away from me.
I want to be free. I want to fly. I want out of this cage. If you really loved me, you wouldn't keep me in this cage. Polly want a cracker? No. Polly wants to be free: free to spread her wings and fly.
The Bald Vegan adds-"If you have a pet bird, that bird is dependent on you. Perhaps he or she has spent his or her entire life being dependent on humans to be fed. So, if by some miracle, what you've read here has moved you, and you want to free your pet bird, that might not be the right thing to do. On the other hand, it might be the right thing to do. You should do some research into the matter before setting the bird(s) free: to see if it's the right thing to do. Find out how they would fare in the wild before doing it. Please don't buy any more birds that you'll imprison in cages. You know you wouldn't want to live that way, so why force an animal to live like that? Sting sang, 'If you love somebody, set them free.' If, after doing ample research, you've determined that your bird inmates would thrive in the wild, then set them free. Ideally, you'd leave the cage by an open window, with the cage door open, so the bird can make his or her own choice whether to remain free or return."
