By that logic, do zoo bird/animal shots qualify for inclusion in Nature and Wildlife???

Yes, they do! Being captive does not make an animal man-made, it is still nature.
They wouldn't fit in 'wildlife' but do in 'nature'.

I wasn't offended, I thought they were good photos. This got me thinking, if those photos didn't belong here then mabye I should move my black and white film photos out of the black and white gallery because the objects being photographed were coloured in real life.

We don't see this one going anywhere but downhill.

In short: zoo/captive animals are part of nature. I could argue non-domesticated animals can be considered wildlife snd domesticated ones (dogs, cats, goats, ...) can be considered "family".
