Answer:

4 parrots

3 cages

Explanation:

Bryan has one more parrot than cages and one more cage than half the number of parrots. The following system of equations can be modeled for the number of parrots (P) and cages (C):

$P=C+1\\C-1=(P)/(2)$

Solving the linear system:

$P-1-1=(P)/(2)\\0.5P = 2\\P=4\\C=P-1=4-1=3$

Bryan has 4 parrots and 3 cages.
