Birds and a cart

Recently visited the local zoo and captured some birds.

Majestic Eagle. I felt sad to see it in chains.

Vulture with his huge wings, yet unable to fly since it was also chained to the ground.

A cart which I saw at a Napa Valley winery and instantly fell in love with:

I don’t like the chaining/jailing of animals and birds in zoos. I wonder when the world is going to get on with concepts like safaris, wild-sightings, etc. instead of zoos? Besides, channels like NGC and Discovery bring the wild-life to our homes. Are zoos still necessary?

yep true. Felt very bad looking at birds not able to fly. According to me, flying is such an amazing feeling. I don’t know how trapped those birds must be feeling 😦
Whether zoos are necessary is something that everyone should give a thought about. You are right, we now have NGC showing every possible animal in wild habitat.

The first picture is amazing! The depth of field is superb. I also like the last pic. It’s sad to know about the state of vulture though. Why would they chain birds??

Thanks Anu 🙂
Most of the birds were in cages. These were kept outside the cages in the open and chained probably to prevent them from escaping.
