Free As A Bird

Birds are magnificent, highly intelligent animals whose need to fly and be part of a flock is part of their natural state of being, a behaviour that is as important to them as language is to humans, yet humans consistently force these animals to live in cages for their own pleasure. To keep a dog or cat imprisoned in a small cage for their entire life would be viewed by the general public as “cruel”, yet this welfare issue seems to be overlooked by many people when it comes to birds. To keep a captive bird is to deny it of its basic rights to an avian life.
