It's an interesting picture: the caged bird, and a lonely one (probably a male) tries to court its own reflection. I like the physical looks of the haiku too.

Zhanna P. Rader

again I loved this because the images provided an awesome visual of the bird looking into the mirror.

Zaida Lysle

A poignant view of loneliness. In an attempt to court one of its kind a caged bird offers seed to its mirror image. It's a true description of caged bird behaviour. That bamboo cage is interesting too, the natural material is still a prison. There is the frustration of natural urges and perhaps an attempt at a pretence that another bird offers seed to him.
