No, it didn't.
No where in the article does it describe the bird as having an active role in any of the activities it was subjected to.
It does document historical abuse of birds though:
This is an abused bird that's imprinted on a human due to that abusive-environment. Its slaver has a habit of forcing it into novel situations.
Animals should be with their own kind. This is an article about a bird-slaver playing with his "property". This is most certainly depressing news.
Go read the very bottom, all of it, where it explicitly says how the bird itself chooses to enter the capsule, repeatedly, and even chose the site for diving.
I know this is a very sore subject for many, especially for someone calling pets a slave, but the bird absolutely did choose and seemingly had fun.
We can't know what animals feel, or what's truly going on in their head. We can study their reactions, but what if that reaction shows they're happy? Would you still accept that?
