I am a bird in a cage. I keep struggling to free myself But I was not born in this cage. I was born on a tree in the forest. unfortunately, I got separated from my family today I am living a life of a prisoner in this cage. I wanna go out of this cage day and night I dream of being free. ![bird-5058713_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeDt9hTH6sKTYuv7dEesJe3kXf33Z9wYkePV3zcVQJSrL/bird-5058713_1280.jpg) [Image](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/p%C3%A1jaro-tailandia-fauna-silvestre-5058713/) When I was very young and I had not yet learned to fly, then I lived in a nest with my parents and siblings. my parents took loving care of me and my siblings. Both of them used to bring grains and fruits for me and feed me with great love. I don't know when those happy moments passed. One day when my parents had gone in search of food a fowler came here. he had a net. his face was very scary. seeing him, and my siblings hid in fear. hunter kept looking at the nests built on the trees for a long time. Then he climbed on our tree and the baby birds sitting in the nests he caught hold of all of us and started putting us in his bag. We were making a loud noise, but everything went in vain. he reached out towards my nest and caught hold of me with his hard hands. I struggled a lot to get free from his hands, but he caught me he put me in his bag with other birds. It was very dark in there. I was suffocating due to lack of air. The hunter reached his home we were imprisoned in small birdcages. we were all hungry since last night. he gave us food and water we ate a little of the grain even if didn't want to eat. 'cause my mind was trembling with a terrible apprehension Next day he reached in the market with all the cages. a market for birds. birds locked in cages were visible all around people were coming and bargaining for birds they were buying them and taking them away. A man bought me too And brought me to his home. bringing home he gave me to his young daughter. That girl's eyes lit up as soon as she saw me. she started dancing happily. She named me Zenu. my owner and the little girl They are taking good care of me with great affection. they give me food and water and great care of my other needs But being caged is my biggest sorrow. ![bird-3158784_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeRCjB5xczNBagoMroVKbnyENeG93uH1MAh7GtjZVz1Nn/bird-3158784_1280.jpg) [Image](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/p%C3%A1jaro-gaviota-volador-alas-animal-3158784/) Could humans understand my pain? like them, I also want to be free. locking me in a cage they should not tie my wings. I wanna fly free in the sky. I have only one wish “I wanna have a nest even if it is just a twig, don't separate me from my natural shelter if nature has given me wings, let me fly free in the sky.
