what as weed to do with birds sorry don't no if there is a category for anything to do with your question unless its weeds for birds.

You asked this in the pet bird category. ;P

Hey, so I'm sort of a noob at smoking but I recently acquired a pipe (has no carb) and it came with a small wire cage where you put the weed and I was wondering if it has to be there? I mean it's a pretty deep bowl, can I just fill it with weed or is the cage there to hold the weed? I mean if I grind it up it could easily fall through the wire anyway so I assume it's unnecessary?
