You see dozens of tiny luxurious cages where the menagerie is kept.  Instead of metal bars, the cages have bars of clearest crystal, and within are every sort of animal that walks, crawls, flaps or slithers.
Pet chamber, Inside Castle

I am the king's mother. When I was raising him, I did little to stop his cruelties to other children. I am now the mother of a bloodthirsty warmonger. I have been imprisoned because I dared speak up when he murdered his sisters' husbands. I am full of regret.
Relax, I am not going to hurt you  But my home, the bridge! It's gone! Nay nay .. you have merely been taken away  What kind of place is this? These bars are clear. This is the pet chamber, friend I no want to be in a pet chamber. I want to scare people from under my bridge. Well you're not a troll, are you? If not, shouldn't you be on facebook? I'm so confused and hungry. Are you not welll fed here?  All I know is I went to sleep under my bridge and then I woke up here in this cage. I usually hunt for scraps right about now. Do you have any? I can do you a nice rare steak but I will have to go back to my apartments to prepare it  You have peaked my interest.
