Yay!! We get pics!!!

Birds are kept in cages, yes, but in the case of legally kept birds, these birds would not survive in the wild. I didn't start this practice of taking birds from the wild, but these birds need homes, too. And any good bird owner allows the bird outside the cage (in a place where it can't escape, get lost and most likely die in the wild), and interacts with the bird. Pet birds need plenty of attention (certain species more than others).
