A bird in a cage

I have a bird. And he sometimes gets angry and bites really hard. But it’s not his fault.

It’s not his fault cause he’s just a bird in a cage.

    Life’s like dust in the wind dude…. :p

  4. ibad says:

    Is this pointing towards the new rules of TISF?
    ;P

  5. Abid Omar says:

    No, he does have a bird in a cage. I have seen it.

    And it is his fault for putting the bird in that cage.

    Such cruelty.

  6. Hira S. says:

    her? who’s her? is this an inside thing?

    the bird probably hates you doesn’t he?

  7. Rameez says:

    Is this MR.Rebuttal?

  8. stunt says:

    i like humming bird;)

  9. Amna Khan says:

    Birds are meant to be free……i wish i was a bird but not in the hands of such brutal ppl!!!

  10. Rameez says:

    Bruttal people?

    You think Asim is bruttal…not exactly!Someone is kept in cage for two resons:

    1)He/She is so cute to grab and locked in a cage.
    2)He/She actually disturbs and frustrates you and you just grab and lock him.

    In this case..what we have..i dont know..Asim will answer that as he has got the bird…

  11. Ali Hakeem says:

    Maybe it’s because he can lock it?
    The act of Trapping something gives pleasure to the brute that is man.
    Crush an ant without even thinking twice about it….
    Kill another human being, it’s easy… pretend it deserved to die and you’re fit to handle that kind of judgment.

  12. Now that we’re literally talking about birds, there could be a variety of other reasons. For example, you give an injured bird a shelter. Or you come across one from a really exotic species (like a damsel in distress :P ) that is not native to your surroundings, which you can’t really set free because of your hostile natural environment, and you give it a shelter in your home, feed it well, keep it happy, make it a part of the family, love it…where’s the cruelty in that?

  13. Aasim says:

    I open the cage at times and the bird reluctantly comes out. The moment he does, he starts feeling vulnerable. The cage is his sanctuary. He runs back inside the first chance he gets.

  14. Abid Omar says:

    The same thing often happens to prisoners. Put a man in prison long enough, and he will be reluctant to come out. The prison becomes his safe haven, the outside world becomes unknown and therefore feared.

  27. Furhan says:

    Karim, it depends upon the time period, the poll’s target voters, and interestingness to begin with.

  28. Aasim Ahmed says:

    Some people enjoy others feeding them and clothing them cleaning up the mess that they make. They’re spoilt by those who aid this behavior.

  29. MR REBUTTAL says:

    A Little bird in the sky
    She so lost
    She so shy
    she so wry
    she so tired of being in the sky
    still flies high but don’t know why.

  30. arsalan ahmed says:

  31. Aasim says:

    It’s not about one bird. It’s about many.
