Belgium - Brussels - Grand Place bird market buyers

Bird fanciers admires caged tropical birds in the Grand Place (Grote Markt, in Flemish) bird market, Brussels, Belgium. The archetypal Belgian gentlemen wear flat caps and in the cages are small birds from tropical countries, on sale every Sunday for those wanting avian company in their homes. The Brussels Grand Place hosts a bird market and the selection and prices are generally better than can be found in pet shops though the origins of these creatures are questionable. The Grand Place is Brussels’ main city square, the focal point for colourful events throughout the year. Its Dutch-styled gabled guildhalls date from the 13th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
