>>1770793I'm just curious but have you had better experience free ranging birds outdoors rather than indoors (depending on the breed of course)?
I know that natural environment and all is where they come from, but humans capture critters, tame them and work hard to keep them safe, healthy and alive. Like the cat in your picture.
Could it not be argued that indoor pets (turtles, cats, other very pretty very expensive birds) are trapped in cages (houses)?
They can see outside but if you ever let the animal out, they could run away, injure themselves, or get eaten (or stomped, thank you humans).
It's a conundrum to answer, really. Do you want to chance your livestock/pet to fend for itself and trust it will come back to you in exchange for it to be in it's *natural* environment?
In most situations, all humans can really do for their pets/livestock in certain cases is give them the best simulated environment to ensure safety.
Kinda like what the gov't does to people lol, but on a smaller scale using living things that are less sentient.
