I believe that's because it's quite natural that talking of
"birds" refers to "outdoor" birds - it's their natural habitat
anyway. When you wanna talk about stuffed, indoor etc. birds
it's most welcome that you let others know in your subject line
what the article is all about (e.g. indoor birds).

Go ahead with your discussion of indoor birds (we might learn something
from one another) but please, do remember that some people have a lot
news reading to do (including me) and they do not wish to browse articles
that do not interest them.

With regards from a (outdoor) bird lover,

				Martin
