People tend to be proud of their pets. Moreover, each person is sure that it is his animal that is the best. To prove this, the owners of cats and dogs arrange all kinds of contests, tournaments and shows; involve a competent jury and even get passports for their pets, where the breed of the animal and its value are described in black and white. But the most original competition is held in Thailand. The most vociferous bird is chosen here.
To do this, thousands of cells are taken to the streets of Rueso (southern province of Narathiwat) and suspended on special high posts. The competition is held every year on March 23 and brings together thousands of birdwatchers from Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.
The popularity of the competition is due not only to its uniqueness, but also to the high prize pool. The owner of the most vociferous bird receives 1 million baht (approximately 31 thousand US dollars) as a reward.
Contestants appear before the jury in luxurious bamboo cages, trimmed with fabric drapery. At the start of the competition, the cages are raised to a height of 3 meters. How exactly the feathered contestants are evaluated is unknown, but the competition itself causes a huge stir among all owners of songbirds.
Although it is much more pleasant to watch birds living in freedom. Their singing is no worse than that of the famous prisoners in bamboo cages. But free birds look much more cheerful, which once again proves that no cage (even a golden one) can compare with freedom.
