Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of a traditional home life is not inherently innate or natural to human beings. It highlights the idea that our societal construct of home and familial relationships is comparable to placing a cockatoo in a cage - it restricts and confines our natural instincts or desires. It implies that the cultural expectations and norms surrounding home life might limit our true potential and individual freedom, implying that other ways of living and forming connections may be equally valid and natural.
