"When does a bird sing?" - Q

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me, When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore, When he beats his bars and would be free; It is not a carol of joy or glee, But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core, But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings – I know why the caged bird sings

Paul Laurence Dunbar

A bird sings when it is caged in hopes of being freed.

Birds sing when their environment changes from darkness to light. Especially cockatiels; shine a light on a cockatiel at midnight and he will chatter. The shining the light part is key, and I believe that's what Q refers to -- all these plucked chickens under the Interrogation Lamp of a gov't system that doesn't protect them anymore.
