On a small rooftop in one of the neighborhoods of Homs, the Hamimati Nabih Wardan and his birds live a life parallel to what is happening around him in the city, a private, exotic, warm, and pure life, different from the harshness of the chaos, destruction, and displacement events that Homs is experiencing during March 2011.
