songbirds

Many Thai people keep songbirds. To me it seems such a
contradiction, to admire the song yet cage the bird.
I know it's a very old practice. & we get to hear some
rare songs. Even so. One day I stopped to speak to a bird,
she quietly answered: sawadee ka.
Then I saw the sign 'tip the bird' but I was too busy
laughing.
