The hat on the right is too small a cage for that bird. :coolmad:
The one on the left is OK as it seems the birds could fly off if they aren't happy, That presents another problem though. Domesticated birds don't do well in the wild! :coolmad:
Pets are not fashion accessories! :coolmad:

Those are real live birds?? If so then Tyrusguy is right, that is a piss poor way to treat those cute little birdies.
