At the elderly ladies' home...

.. One of the ladies has that bird in a cage and feeds it. Are we supposed to think she is crazy feeding a fake bird or is it just a really bad prop?

Probably just a bad prop...and I don't think that this was the key part of the outing to the elderly ladies' home. I think the point was for the girls to learn that not everyone is as fortunate as they are. Some of those ladies were really living in poverty.

Oh I agree, that was a heartbreaker. It reminds me of when I worked in a nursing home during the summer between my junior and senior year of high school. There was a lady in there whose family put her in there while they went on vacation. As of the time I worked there, she'd been there about 3 years. So sad.

My take on it is that the lady was not really altogether in her right mind. And the bird was a toy that had a button on the bottom of the cage that made it tweet so she thought it was real?

I think she was lonely and pretended the bird was real but she really knew it wasn't.
