Philippine oriole

First time for me to see a Philippine oriole but sad to see it in a cage.


At first I thought the yellow color of the wings was just sprayed on the bird but the vendor told me it was the real thing and that this bird can be found and caught in Quezon Province. I asked him if it was legal to be selling those birds and he said yes.

It may be legal but I wonder what joy is there for some people to own an imprisoned bird that should be flying free.

Until I can give other options for the vendor however, I will rather not say anything about his livelihood.
