During the Catholic holiday of Palm Sunday, birds vendors, known as pajareros, from across Mexico flock to the capital and decorate 10-foot-tall stacks of cages, adorning them with flowers, tinsel and images of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexico’s patron saint. They walk miles through the streets of Mexico City with their birds and their families to the city’s iconic basilica.
