We always had pet birds when I was growing up. I never gave it much thought as a child.Over the years we had budgies, canaries and even an Orange Bishop If the subject about keeping birds in cages came up, my dad would say that it was okay as it was all our birds knew They were bred in captivity and knew no better. Besides, we looked after them well. That was the 1960s and earl 70s, attitudes But we're different then.

I would much rather see birds free and enjoy them my garden than have them in cages.
