Look at the sad face, it made me sad too!
I went to a nearby grocery market and I found a shop that is selling birds. My 4 years old son was with me. You can guess, how curious he was seeing the pigeons on the cases.
It was his first time encountering any captive bird. He asked a thousand questions, like if they can fly, why they don't fly away, why the shop owner keeps them in cages, and so on...
There are more!
People like to keep pigeons as pet birds. They are very friendly birds. They don't fly away if they get enough comfort, security, and food. I have seen how easy it is to keep them as a pet. But still, people keep them in cages.
We are far away from banning this. But what do you think, should it be or not?
I hope one day we will understand, one day we will learn to prefer others comfort over our happiness.
Ha, that's why I never go into the shops my friend. We have many "pets" here at home , but none are caged and all are wild.
You are right @papilloncharity
That's better. But don't forget not everyone can live with pets in wild like you.
You are also right @yagoub .
For many years we also lived in a city, but we never kept any wild animals.
I worked with an animal place for a period a long time ago and they cared for maltreated pets. People would buy beautiful wild little animals, but then either they get tired of caring for it, or the animal grows up and they simply dump it out of a car next to the road. We think that wild animals should stay in the wild.
Not all people are like that as many love their pets and we also have a little dog that is now 16 years old.
It's really unfortunate to see what people can do to others for their pleasure 😞😞
Your sight is always wonderful, we can see them through your photos.
Thank you my friend and I have come to the conclusion that some are just plain evil.
Imagine a recent court case where a man said that he was tired of his dog and poured old car engine oil on the dog to die. Luckily the animal was rescued.
Glad that you like my pictures.
You will get to see these stories all over the world. Here in Bangladesh, people sometimes put hot water on stray dogs to scare them off, with no regret. Humans are the greatest evil but we don't realize or ready to accept it.
Just today a lady in tears said she saw a guy deliberately driving over a squirrel in the road.
The lady ran and picked the squirrel up, but he died in her hands.
These cold hearted evil persons just don't know what they are doing to themselves, as surely this deed will be repaid to him.
The same thing will happen to the people that pour hot water on stray dogs instead of rather feeding them, as their turn will come. The wheel turns my friend.
Blessings and !LUV
That's horrible.
This is the life lesson for my son- who is not kind to animals, can not be kind to humans as well.
I too believe in Karma, soon life will give them back what they did and I witnessed this.
Thanks for your luv.
Oh yeah, so true and my mom taught us that one can see a person's character by the way that they treat their animals. Luckily when we are out I have other people's dogs running to come and greet me, which can be embarrasing for the owners, as they have to wait for their dogs to return to them.
In fact a guy was out walking with his dog, the dog ran to me and the owner had to come and pick him up, as he refused to return. Of course I apologised to the owner on behalf of the dog hahaha.
You have reminded me and I will post today about a dog that came to greet me, but then he went to chase some birds.
Hope that the weekend is good to you.
Cheers and here's some more !LUV

Thanks :)
I agree. Birds are fascinating and intelligent creatures, and I can understand that people want to have relationships with them by keeping them as pets. But to deprive a being of something as fantastically free as flight feels deeply wrong to me.
That's the truth. I wish people could understand that.
Maybe some day 😞
Thanks 🤩🤩
I agree that Captivity is one of the greatest of all evil in life 😰😢
