I was walking in Zhongshan park the other day, and there was one nice section of the park with many tracks winding through a wooded area. The air was full of birdsong, so I sat a while and ate some roasted chestnuts that I purchased from a vendor near the park entrance. When I decided to move on I came across the birds that were singing. They were all in cages, hung up in trees. There was a group of men near by, and from what I could gather they owned the birds and had all brought them to the park so they could socialise and sing together. They were in tiny cages, but at least they got a change of scenery.
Talking of animals, we were so close to buying turtles yesterday. We came across them at a market, there were some baby turtles that had shells an inch in diameter. They were so tiny and cute, however we thought we better read a bit about them before purchasing and it turns out they require a high level of care and can grow to be 70kg.
