Just out of curiousity - I've never seen or heard of anyone keeping
nightingales as pets. Are they not popular in this regard for some reason
(e.g. difficult to rear in captivity, won't sing in captivity, etc...)?

I haven't seen any in cages in a very long time but there are some
outside my window and in the neighborhood that sign all night long.
They are very cool to listen too.

I grew up with a particular story about a caged nightingale - I can't
remember it any longer because I was too young - but it had something to do
with its singing. There was a moral too, but I can't remember it. It might
have something to do with its being caged. If anyone remembers the
nightingale fable, I'd love to have my memory jolted.
The first and only time I have seen a nightingale is in the Royal Botanical
Gardens of Melbourne. It was an amazing sight (and sound).

Is it "The Nightingale" by Hans Christian Andersen (1844)?
