Like plants, pet birds thrive in competition. It is more auspicious to have several bird cages for pet birds rather than a single cage with a lone canary a la Tweety and Sylvester. a bid harden is alwaya a nice setting to knit, have coffee, or write reflections in.

If I were an ancient Chinese man I'd have an office looking out into a second courtyard filled with exquisite bird cages.
