Many of us are probably unfamiliar with the tree hornbills. Females are 
known to encase themselves in their nesting cavity, leaving an opening just 
large enough for the mate to deliver food.

The nesting behavior of the hornbills in no way negates the truth of Greg 
Glendell's observation, that birds have not evolved to endure confinement.
Maybe humans are not totally evolved to enjoy confinement either, could 
that be why we use it as punishment? Why we sometimes fantasize about 
enjoying an unfettered pirate's life?
Ay maties?
