Chapter 23 uses an analogy of a parrot to describe the deluded soul. Can you explain this comparison?

In Chapter 23 of the Sai Satcharitra, the state of the soul is compared to that of a parrot (Shuka) in a cage. Just as the parrot is confined, the soul is confined within the body. The text explains that even though the parrot has lost its freedom, it grows to love its cage with its "golden bars" and considers its state of dependence to be good. It fears leaving the cage because it would lose the comfort of being fed pomegranate seeds and sweet chilies. This mirrors the sensual soul, which clings to worldly pleasures and attachments, fearing the unknown of spiritual freedom. The chapter implies that only when an extraordinary master (Guru) intervenes can the parrot's eyes be opened to the reality of its situation.
