A Weird Cage

Post by lovezebs » Fri Sep 25, 2015 12:03 pm

Hello Finchie Folk

I came across this cage for sale on kijiji, and found myself wondering what poor creature would you house in this contraption. How in earth would any bird be able to fly, or even hop in this thing??? :roll:

Just found it rather strange, and thought I would share, and get some thoughts on it.

I had one of those and just used it for a decoration. It's not made well enough to house birds or any creature for that matter.

I thought it was rather odd, but they are selling it as a 'bird cage'.

I think it would be interesting to place a pot of Ivy in there, and watch the ivy grow through it.

I feel sorry for whatever bird someone tries to house in that thing.

bought these two from the local thrift store at $5 and $8 respectively. And yes, they are only good for decorative projects.

The top one might be good for a hamster maybe. The round one, I would place an ivy plant in and hang up from the ceiling to cascading downwards.
