Set Them Free
There are old ladies walking around the streets of Chiang Mai selling the freedom of small birds. The ladies have round straw baskets, each containing three birds. When I see this, I cannot resist setting them free.
They chirp excitedly when I open the basket, and they fly away. I wish I could set all the birds free, but it costs too much.
(Note: Buddhists believe that showing kindness to small animals brings good karma.)
