The Caged Bird Metaphor is a common Animal Metaphor where a character—often a woman or girl in an oppressive environment—is associated with a caged bird, symbolizing their sense of confinement and longing for freedom. This trope is effective as birds in the wild tend to represent freedom due to their enviable aviary capabilities, making it all the more tragic when one is deprived of that birthright. (Note the term "jailbird" for "prisoner", and that "flying", and "flying the coop" are all synonyms for escape.) The trade-off, of course, is that many metaphorical cages also offer protection and some degree of luxury; examples will often explore this choice between freedom and safety.
