A robin redbreast in a cage......

                                    .....Puts all Heaven in a rage.
                             A dove house fill'd with doves and pigeons
                                 Shudders Hell thro' all its regions,
                                A dog starv'd at his master's gate
                                   Predicts the ruin of the State.
                                  A horse misus'd upon the road
                                Calls to Heaven for human blood.
                                  Each outcry of the hunted hare
                                 A fiber from the brain does tear.
                                 

But not in this household.

Here is a robin actually nesting in a bird cage, of its own volition.


The bird found its own way into an enclosed workshed and selected the cage, high on a shelf.

It is the ultimate safe spot, free from vermin and predators of any kind; most especially, cats!

What does William Blake know?
