About animals.?!
Why is this?
Answers: To keep a pet dog in a cage for a week is considered cruelty; but somehow to keep a bird in a cage for days, weeks, years is ok.
Why is this?
(I dont think he's asking why you keep birds in a cage, hes asking why do we keep birds as pets at all!)
No I think its cruel aswel
I have 2 budgies and I was so upset after I bought it because I realised it was so cruel but then to let them out in the wild would be even more cruel because there would be no chance of survival. I didnt want to give them up either because who knows where they would go.
There cage is actually really huge (parrots cage); I built them a big avairy in the garden and they get to fly around every day. It still doesnt make it much better but im just going to look after them the best I possibly can and im definatly not going to buy any more birds after this
But to answer your question, I honestly dont know. Lots of things about the way we live our lives is very hypocritical x
ppl just like dogs better. dum ppl
birds still have room to fly around in their cages.
dogs have to run around (on top of everything and everybody at that).
and i would think that birds might be harder to catch for the fact that they can get higher than you can.
hahahaha
good question...
:]
maybe they like it in the cage?
?;;

it is simply safer for the bird, the bird doesn't require as much exercise, and many people don't keep their birds locked up all day
good question. Im afraid youve stumped me on this one though
Very interesting question.....Never have i thought about that.....Probably cause birds are smaller than dogs so they move a lot. Dogs however, Don't move but a few inches in a cage.
Answer please....

because a bird has a much smaller brain and only has a memory span of 10 mins
because dogs need room!!! birds usually are grown in cages
Wow. This is a really nice statement and it makes you think. And I dont know why this is, the world is really screwed up :/
Because birdds can't kill you so its okay to make them mad
Dogs are larger, more complex animals which require more socialization and exercise.
well because a bird will fly away and even if you clip thier wings they can still get kinda high of the ground and the bird will not no where to get food!!
a dog will not fly away and it will no where its food is
Well it does sound kinda cruel but people only do it so they can keep the bird safe from flying away....but unlike dogs...they get attached and they know their home and their family so they wont run away...
To keep anyone in a cage is cruel. But keeping birds in a cage constrain them from crapping your house and flying away - isn`t it obvious?
Because you can condition your dog not to crap all over your house. Unless you are some kind of dr. doolittle with birds, training them NOT to crap all over the place is absolutly NOT going to happen. Also, there are lots of hazards for them to fly into and get injured as the result of....and if they get outside via an open window or you coming in or going out, there's NO getting the animal to come home.
its because if you kept a bird in your house with no cage it would poo every where !! and you couldn't open the window in your house because it would fly out of the window and u would never see the bird again. dogs don't fly out the window. since doga r much bigger than a bird then they need wat more space. but a bird doesn't it only needs so much room. hope that answers ur question!!=)
cuz dogs have like no room to move and birds have room to move around.
but good question ;)
because birds don't need to move around as much as dogs. ever heard the expression, "bird brain", they aren't the smartest of animals
well if you think about it dogs are raised in cages too except the "cage" is a home. Birds are smaller and dont need tht much excercise so they dont need all that room while dogs are big and need lots and lots of excercise so they need room to walk and run around.Its just how big the animal is and how much space it is given to live in.
Clearly the answer is that birds are uncool and aren't as well like as dogs.
Idiot. Birds have a memory span of about 10 (Approximation) seconds. Every day is an adventure.
I love people like you!!
Rock on, my good man...
Maybe you should go into the pets' section with that question?
What makes you think vegetarians and vegans are the ones to answer?
hopefully you dont have to keep the bird incarcerated permanently. it goes to show the trade offs in life. perhaps it is better to be a bird with an empty stomache and all your freedom than a well fed caged bird.
