East - this really necessary ?
A bird free in the House and we do more dare to open the window for fear that it escapes.
But if the cat prowls, If he sees the glass at the last moment, If he decides to go drinking in the bathtub…It would be preferable that it retains its bearing surface to escape.
It is always possible to identify it with an electronic chip, but it is true that when a bird is found we rarely think he has a chip (may be in the future).
