…to a captive bird
he is very good
at mimicking his captors
dreaming of freedom, rafters,
spreading his wings should
the cage unlatch, come the rapture

Sorry it’s just a personal thing with me born of fear of being shut in . I am sure your bird is happy many seem so 💜

No offense taken. I get it. I’m not a fan of zoos in general, but those that have thriving breeding programs for protection of a species from extinction is an important thing I believe. 😊
