What a cute parrot! Is it yours? what's his name? He really has gorgeous feathers, but he looks sad. So this photo has reminded me of the following idiom: 'a bird in a gilded cage'
The meaning: limitations that often accompany material waste
This metaphoric expression indicates that riches cannot buy happiness.
