In the natural animal world, there is a bird called the crested hornbill. In order to protect her unborn child, the female bird will seal the hole with mud herself, leaving only a small crack. In the next 90 days or so, it will completely "imprison" itself in the tree hole, unable to fly or turn around, relying entirely on the male bird to feed food from the gaps. In order to ensure that the eggs hatch at a constant temperature, it will even pluck its own feathers to keep the nest warm. This self-imprisonment does not end until the young bird hatches and becomes fully fledged. At that time, the female bird will peck open the mud wall and return to the sky with her children. This is a kind of "imprisonment" actively chosen for the next generation, full of love and responsibility.
