It is permissible to keep birds in cages if you feed them what they need of food, based on the about the woman who was punished because of a cat, and the hadith of Anas in the two collections that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Abu Umayr: "O Abu Umayr, what did the little bird do?" And the little bird was a small bird he used to play with, which indicates the permissibility of caging birds.
