Member Omni Dragon Posted August 15, 2012 Member Share Posted August 15, 2012 ☯What are they about? The first time I remember seeing one was in DRUNKEN MASTER Tino Wong was holding one I've wondered about it since then (also the 1st time I saw a shape) was it just a popular way of keeping a pet, a fashion statement, a lot of rich characters seem to carry them was it a way to show your wealth.☯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Leung Tsan Posted August 15, 2012 Member Share Posted August 15, 2012 haha I guess you are absolutely correct, at least that's what we ve been joking about with my friends... I mean in many many movies we always see a character wearing luxurious silky clothes and they also have the birdcage..... so that should work as a show off for them..... they did not have cars so that would be my best guess..... but maybe I am wrong and it has another meaning.... dunno, but still..... they ve got a nice style with their birdcages !!

Member dadadove Posted August 18, 2012 Member Share Posted August 18, 2012 My wife tells me its not so much about wealth, but just having a pet. Once one bird starts singing, others join in, and people like that. Her father once had a birdcage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Michael L. Posted August 18, 2012 Member Share Posted August 18, 2012 When I was in China I saw many people, mainly older people, who were simply taking their birds for a walk. I was not in a wealthy area at all. They just seemed to feel that their pets needed a little air, kind of like I walk my bulldog... only with less barking and peeing on things.
