 A Rowti bird sings in a bird singing competition at Independence Square in Paramaribo June 19, 2011. Dozens of men gathered at the square on Sunday to compete or show off their little male singers, making it a tourist attraction. As bird breeders spend hundreds of dollars on singing birds, the little caged artists are becoming an attractive smuggle item to Europe, where they can be sold for large sums of money.
