However, he soon realized that the cage that traps him is also his shield and protects him from the countless dangers existing out there in the the nature, and more than once the cage saves him from being the supper of an odd wild animal. The next day, father and son offer the bird an an unexpected chance at freedom. Will Finch take it and choose to be free, even if the world is full of dangers?
