FINAL WORD

Many people and religions are against caging a bird to be kept as a pet. The pros and cons are many and the debate goes on.

Some still feel and have proved that birds survive longer in cages as they are totally protected from predators. They also say that they breed better in captivity as all suitable arrangements can be created up to exact levels.

Even if you do not want to cage a bird for pet, you can have flightless birds as pets.
But please remember never to clip off the wings of a bird for your own pleasure.
Neither try to keep any endangered or restricted bird as a pet. It is an offence.

You can still share your love with them by feeding them in open grounds and helping them in times of injury and need.

YOU WOULD FEEL IMMENSE PLEASURE DOING THIS.
