Keeping birds in cages should be outlawed
Just because a bird is beautiful shouldn't be a life sentence behind bars for the bird(s). Laws should be made to make it illegal to keep birds locked up. It's inhuman

On the contrary, it's a very human thing to do. I once read a science-fiction story in which some aliens kidnapped some earthlings and caged them. The captives were treated well but still were prisoners. After a while, some sort of rat or mouse appeared, and the earthlings caught it and made a little enclosure for it to keep as a pet. The aliens then released the earthlings with an apology, saying they did not realize the earthlings were advanced beings. It seems they captured the earthlings for their zoo, thinking they were just dumb animals. Only advanced intelligences imprisoned other creatures, and that's how they realized their mistake.
