LIBERATING THE BIRDS IN THE FLYING CAGE 



After months of confinement in their winter quarters in the Aquatic Bird House, the birds of the Flying Cage 



welcome the freedom of summer, and swiftly take wing as they are liberated by the keeper.

of chopped meat, the bird assumed this grotesque pose to allow the food to pass into the stomach.
