A caged bird longs for freedom which is a mystery for them. Song is the only weapon a caged has to express themselves and claim for freedom. As they have a strong affinity for freedom he sings himself loudly with a shrill voice which is strong enough to represent their sorrows and hopelessness even on distant hill.
