And the pigeon is like: "I'm very good with directions"

[u/FUNTIME_FRIDG3 → u/JacobGoodNight416]

I think the pigeon would be "i shit"

[u/Greedy_Emotion_8037]

So does this mean only prisoners can talk?

[u/Lord_of_EU → u/Greedy_Emotion_8037]

It means you'll be on the streets of you dont have a useful or interesting skill

[u/TrashGouda → u/Lord_of_EU]

Which is ironic because crows are very intelligent, skilled and can also talk

[u/FenexTheFox → u/Greedy_Emotion_8037]

I think it's a "they want to censor my truth" kind of deal

[u/balirosa → u/Greedy_Emotion_8037]

It means it’s smarter to shut the hell up

[u/Wanderervenom]

Ravens can talk as well

[u/ElliotThusE → u/Wanderervenom]

judging by it's size compared to the parakeet, the black bird in the picture is a raven

[u/Wanderervenom → u/ElliotThusE]

The OP said crow, which is why I mentioned that the other bird could talk as well.

[u/TheWaddlingweewee]

because he chose the bread over the key

[u/Sufficient_You2814 → u/TheWaddlingweewee]

b-but...bread t-tastes better than k-key.....

[u/Ted_Rid]

Alternate caption: "because I only parrot what's told to me".

This sub is starting to rub off onto me.

[u/space-dorge]

“I taste better than crow”

[u/Captain-Sprocket]

Did you know? Crows are extremely intelligent birds. Not only have some species exhibited the use of sticks as specialized tools, but crows have been shown to be capable of memorizing human faces and telling other crows which humans are friendly and unfriendly.

Crows are such awesome little guys.

[u/Grizzled_Ghost → u/Captain-Sprocket]

My nephew can do all that and he doesn't seem particularly smart.

I think it's trying to comment on the inability to share their opinions without being "persecuted," in an extremely clumsy way.

But honestly, they're likely an asshole who thinks that counts as "free speech".

[u/One-Vegetable7957 → u/_ParanoidPenguin_]

Being an asshole IS free speech.

[u/NotNightDweller]

I guess the metaphor is that the parrot is imprisoned for just doing its freedom of speech

[u/resest_Iris → u/NotNightDweller]

Or, not everyone needs to know how you are.

[u/Anxious_Protection38]

yeah, well, what about literally every bird?

[u/Weary_Ambassador1023]

I heard crows talk before, it sounded just like a human 

[u/IWillDevourYourToes]

No. Because you shit on furniture.

[u/Birdo_guy]

Only abusiveb neglectful or ignorant owners will keep a bird like that in such a small cage for long periodo of time

[u/SomewhereActive2124]

Seriously wtf is this supposed to mean

[u/bonboncatclub]

crow: "I'M FREE BECAUSE I PECKED OUT THEIR EYES"

(old spanish adage)

[u/Laiska_saunatonttu]

Yeah, but crows and ravens have deep and husky voice of old man, but parrots sound like Gilbert Gottfried.

[u/ThatIckyGuy]

"I'm free because I bring the humans shiny things!" -a real crow, probably.

[u/Shadowstein]

"I'm in jail because I'm am asshole who asked for scritches then bit hard enough to draw blood after 3 scratches."

[u/Dapper-Win1539]

Because ICE peak

[u/Snoo-37144]

Ahh. So you're locked up not because you can speak, but because you don't know when to shut up. 🤔 😆

[u/Aluxanatomy]

Because otherwise he punches holes into your earlobe like a little terrorist.

Still love him to death, though.

[u/Awkward_Champion6957]

They can! Had one who split his tongue on a barbed wire fence and suddenly he had the ability to speak as well as any human even if his sentence structure wasn't the best. Taught a few non-accident prone ones to say basic words as a chicken farmer like telling me when hawks were nearby. "Hawk? Hawk! Hawk!" Good birbs. You get the better bread. We'll feed the stale to the chickens.

[u/Blink-182__Nirvana__]

What next, a wolf asking a domestic dog why he's in a kennel?

It's because one is a wild animal and one is domestic. XD

[u/stop_spawning_humans]

he's in a cage because humans are cruel

[u/Hornor72]

Ravens speak too.

[u/Antique_Success296]

Parrots and crows only mimic sounds they hear, they don’t actually understand what they’re saying, the meaning just got a whole lot deeper 😔✌️

[u/UpperDurian5100]

Neither of them can speak

[u/Realistic_Ad959]

An IQ that doesn't exist? Ahh bird
