For me, there is nothing more relaxing than waking up to the sound of birds singing or even taking a late evening break and hearing the birds chirp and call as they settle in for the night. Over the years I have owned various breeds of birds as pets enjoying their individual personalities and charactristics. When I heard there was a bird market in Hong Kong, I knew I had to visit it. On my second attempt I finally found the market?
I was expecting a street selling birds, I wasn?t expecting a charming Chinese style garden which doubles as a market and a place for humans and their pet birds to socialise.
With over 70 stalls, this is the place to come to buy anything that your pet bird needs to stay healthy and lively, from cages, to toys to yummy live grasshoppers, ants and over treats.
The sheer number of birds in tiny cages was overwhelming. I wanted to buy every single one of them and set them free or at least release them into a big aviary where they could fly around and have a ?normal? bird life.
I know that this is my own emotional response to what I saw and it isn?t really any different (except in scale and number of birds) to the pets shops I have bought my own birds from.
