Thanks everyone!

I was frying up some chicken for supper
and used up the bread crumbs,
so waste not want not!
Let's give it a try and see who likes it?
I will keep you inform about who uses it for their new home!

I made one juat like that without the plants out of an iced tea powder container. The zebras hated it.

Jerry, how did you attach it to the cage? I can't tell from the photos.

I just saw a long basket like that at a thrift store & almost bought it but I thought the babies would fall out. Now I see you have a half round at the end; that would work. Maybe I'll try that.

I used twist ties and wrapped it around the greenery and wire mesh of the aviary
