Cockteils - These excotic birds are hatched in incubators and are fed and cared for by human hands. They know nothing of other birds like themselves.

COCKTEILS
A Bird In A Guilted Cage


 

Abuse can be as simple as
Abuse of a Bird
OH! Have you not heard of
A bird egg inciminated
And hatched in an Incubator

Why yes, this they do
to sell them to who?
To humans, of course
To be made into pets

I saw a white cockteil on
the finger of a male
"Won't he fly away," I said
"OH! no" He said
"He is like lead
He cannot fly
His wings are clipped".

"OH!" I said
"Isn't that cruel"
"No," He said. " this is the rule
He knows nothing better
He's never been free to fly in
the weather"

Aren't we humans treated
and warned by others

TO BE LESS THAN WE COULD BE
AND TO FEAR THE UNKNOWN

Abuse comes in many forms...yes your write describes a form of abuse sad that they never know their own habitat. Much like that many humans endure by the hand of other humans. Thought provoking write my friend, enjoyed!

It surely can, and mankind has been abusing animals in one form or another since we first walked this planet. We've also been abusing our human brothers that long, and I often think it's one of our greatest sins.

On Both abuse is abuse. i raise a dove, parrot, and a love bird about to inherit a cockteil and it is very mean but with prayer and leather gloves gonna love it till it can learn to trust and love me too. I have never clipped their wings they get groomed and they are fed the best and their cheerful music and characters are a blessing to me. i allow them all out all the time they are like real people with charcters and attitudes :).... This message in your poem is strong and yes powerful good. Thank you.........
Blessings,
Joselyn

Sad when life is here for us to dispose of it or create a bird that will never know true freedom.
