Yes. By putting a bird in a cage you are not harming it. I have a friend who has a pet conure that likes to be around people, so she lets her bird come out of it's cage and hang around her family all day. My bird, a budgie, however, dislikes coming out of his cage, because he grew up in a cage and a big, spacious room confuses him. Birds in a zoo cannot be kept in cages meant for pet birds, so they need very large cages in which they can feel like they're wild. I feel that birds like finches or canaries which cannot be handled, played with, or touched, should not be kept as pets because if you can't play with them, teach them tricks, or handle them, then why should you put them in a cage for their whole life? I mean, parrots and budgies for example can be taught to speak and ride mini skateboards, but finches and canaries can only chirp and fly around their cages. I hope this helps!

Animals should not be kept in cages?

They should not be kept in cages. Imagine yourself sitting in a cage, having people watch you from afar. All you eat is stale food, but you know that if you do not eat it you will die. The average lifespan of an elephant is 50-70 years, but a zoo elephant is 16-18 years. Birds were born to fly, not have their wings clipped just to have themselves watched and stared at everyday. Two polar bears seen by a visitor were pulled away from their families and forced to breed, and the visitor said that the polar bears were very dull. If we are free, they deserve to be free.
