If one were to leave the cage door open, allowing the bird to make it's own choice, would it stay in the cage or fly free????

I don't agree with caged birds. Birds should be soaring free through boundless skies, not imprisoned in a cage.
As for pet animals. That the animal should be treated with love and kindness is a given. As for the coming together of two species, that can only be a good thing in my opinion. Through contact with human love and affection, the animal attains individuality and thus survival, which furthers the advancement of its soul and its group soul.
And it is beneficial for the human soul too. Anatole France famously said, "Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
I always like to spin it around, until one has been loved by an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened....
Love, be the source human or animal, transforms like nothing else.

If you left the gate open to a pool area, would a child go through and maybe even drown ?.

Hmmm :)) This is getting good... What about other things kept in enclosed areas? I'm ruling cats and dogs out because they can run away if they wanted to (unless you cage them like they do in my country). What about fishes, salamanders, newts, turtles? ♥

If you love something, Set it free... If it comes back, it's yours, If it doesn't, it never was yours....

Im with Psycho on this. Its all about the bird and our love for it and how we treat it. Animals grow spiritually by having a connection to humans who treat them with love. We are after all their next destination on the journey of life
