LEASE remember that birds in their natural state seek shelter during the heat of the day, and that to leave your bird exposed to the glare i and heat of the sun, without proper protection, will cause suffering.

Your bird is a prisoner, unable to protect itself as it would in a natural state, so give it at least this careful attention.
