Re: Caged birds
I became vegetarian in my teens, my kids all eat vegetarian now too but it was up to them I always cooked meat if they wanted it and my husband has recently amazed me asking for no more meat he wanted to be vegetarian too !I think as time goes on more and more will be doing that eventually eating meat will be off the menu.

Back to birds for a post. I know the photograph below might be disapproved of but a budgie was always part of my family when I was growing up. My Dad had a way with them and they would hang onto the arm of his glasses as he walked around. Our dear old dog was so tolerant too.
This photograph was taken about 53 years ago:

Re: Caged birds
Puddleduck has just put up this quotation in another thread which I think is very appropriate and relevant to this one - in particular Tarantula's post about dominance over other creatures. Thank you Puddleduck."Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
~Chief Seattle"
It sounds romantic and sentimental, but if you stop to think about it I believe it to be a universal truth. Apologies for the digression.

So true, Aerolar.
Humans will realise when it is too late.
