Why is it cruel to keep a birdfinch in a cage?

Answer 1

I don't believe it is if the bird was bred in captivity with no knowledge of the wild. What would it do if it's released into a nonative environment but die? Also, if it's a bird like a cockatiel, as long as you let it out, it's fine with being put in a cage. The only thing that's cruel is if you deprive it of food, water, or any other comfort it needs.

Answer 2

Every pet bird should have a safe place to be when they are not supervised, even if they live with a human caretaker who can let them out to play for most of their waking hours. Birds are very inquisitive and can get into lots of trouble if they are not supervised when out of their cages. They could damage your belongings, escape from your home and get lost, or hurt themselves. Birds should be in a safe, comfortable cage with toys, food, water and a variety of perches when their owners can't be around to watch them. They should also be in their cages at night so they can sleep. Every bird should also have a small cage for travel and for transport to the veterinarian.

Answer 3

Of course its cruel. A bird is a symbol of freedom - the whole sky and earth are its playground - then someone imprisons it in a tiny box, 100,00000 times smaller than its natural environment.
