I Know Why The Caged Bird Surfs
The China Daily reports that 25-year-old Han Yan, from Hubei, China is living in a cage with 300 birds. She was selected from 70 volunteers to spend a week in a 5-square-meter cage suspended 4 meters above the ground.
She said she hoped to increase her awareness of conservation by experiencing the pain of a caged bird. See, she's feeling the duck as it attempts to escape her painful grip.
Han Yan is also feeling pain by having only a bed and computer with internet access in the cage. You can see how much pain she's feeling by reading her blog.
Han Yan's efforts notwithstanding, Gary Larson's Far Side comic "How Birds See the World," at left, remains the standard for empathizing with the feelings of our feathered "friends."
