If I were a bird! As a little bird-maybe a nightingale or an innocent dove-if I were born on this earth‚ I would have been very happy. As a nightingale‚ I would be adored by the people for my sweet songs. I would have built my tiny nest on the top branch of a tree. My nest would give shelter to me and my brethren. From the top of the tree‚ I could see the greenery of the fields‚ the flowing rivers and the far horizon. In a storm‚ my nest would be swung to and fro‚ without being detached from the

Hence‚ keeping animals and birds in cages is quite ridiculous if not cruel. It is most definitely cruel to keep any animal or bird in captivity; worse still confined in cages.
