like your thinking, anon.

A free bird leaps on the back

Of the wind and floats downstream

Till the current ends and dips his wing

In the orange suns rays

And dares to claim the sky.

But a BIRD that stalks down his narrow cage

Can seldom see through his bars of rage

His wings are clipped and his feet are tied

So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill

Of things unknown but longed for still

And his tune is heard on the distant hill for

The caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze

And the trade winds soft through

The sighing trees

And the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright

Lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged BIRD stands on the grave of dreams

His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

His wings are clipped and his feet are tied

So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with

A fearful trill of things unknown

But longed for still and his

Tune is heard on the distant hill

For the caged bird sings of freedom.

Why do birds in cages sing?

Research by Noam Chomsky revealed that birds sing because they have been exposed to the song of their species during a critical period in their lives. If they are exposed before the end of the critical period, they will sing the song in their adulthood. If they are not exposed by the end of the critical period, they will never sing the song (sad!).

So it is not the presence of other birds in the proximity that motivates the bird to sing, but just having learned their species' song alone will drive them to repeat the sound as an adult.
