Huaihua to Hong Kong - Mon-Kok "HONG KONG" - caged bird - hotel - Birds are a precious pet in China, mainly because they take up very little space. The ones with the best songs are the most sought after, and there are hundreds for sale in well-crafted cages. 'Mongolian larks' are common at "Chinese markets", the larks are highly valued for their song. Parakeets sell for around $25:00 HK, while larks with the best voices fetch up to three times that amount. With a world wide pandemic of the (H5N1) avian flu looming many Chinese in Hong Kong are no longer permitted to keep the caged birds. photo. mhobbs
