Why lock up birds

I WONDER if some of your readers could enlighten me as to the purpose of the bird cages/traps that I see in some people's gardens.

These traps contain wild birds, usually without water or food to aid survival and the caught birds are held until dead.

This seems barbaric to me but then I am not a "country born person" so would not be expected to understand the logic of this apparently cruel procedure. Please advise me, and I am sure many others of the general public, of the need for them.
