This is inspired by the pet birds at the coffeeshop near my house. The caged birds are perpetually surrounded by wild free sparrows, but the caged birds are oblivious to the fact that they are caged and have no freedom. Sounds like some of us, both the caged and uncaged, u think?
The bee-eaters are a group of non-passerine birds in the family Meropidae, containing three genera and twenty-seven species. Most species are found in Africa and Asia, with a few in southern Europe, Australia, and New Guinea. They are characterised by richly coloured plumage, slender bodies, and usually elongated central tail feathers. All have long down-turned bills and medium to long wings, which may be pointed or round. Male and female plumages are usually similar
