- One of my subscribers has asked me to give him some information about the 2 Gypsy cages that I have hanging up behind me. I am sorry for the first part of the video messing about, please bear with me on that, as I think I need to format the card, as there is too much on the video to do it all again.
Hi from Thailand. We have the similar style of cages still used today to keep song birds. They can be very expensive if made from teak and depending on the quality and quantity of the carving. Instead of metal cage bars we use wooden thin bamboo strands or wooden doweling.
My family are moving to the UK soon to live on a narrow boat. I plan to keep a canary or goldfinch as a pet, and would love a wooden cage like that rather than the ugly plastic ones sold in pet shops.
I'm Romanichal. Thank You for sharing this.
The name Peter Miller rings a bell. I'm sure I've heard that name a few times before... I have a few old bicycle wheels that I was going to chuck away I never thought of the idea of using the spokes to make a bird cage. I want to build a Victorian bird cage but on a larger scale and I was going to use wire mesh but bike spokes would look much nicer. I will probably need more bike wheels.
Very nice video :-)
very nice, loved the video. Thanks for doing this one for me. I used to build bird cages when I was younger. As well I have built a few more recent and made traps out of them. I had a big ol' crow for a while but let him go, didn't seem nice to keep him caged up. used old wire hangers to make a few of them. seeing them made me want to make a few more and now watching this video has really got me to wanting to do it again. Yes, your catching cage is the same concept I have used to make trap cages as well, just a tad bit larger. They work really well.
Thank you sir, I am glad you enjoyed it, I hope it did not judder or make my voice stutter, only for some reason was having a bit of a problem with my PC.
Beautiful cages. I'd bye one if possible. Love them. Great video.
Hello, Ray; Great info on the once passion with the lil Birdies. Wonderful work on the Cages, I'll bet they didn't get built in a week ? Hoping all's well there with You & Yours, Friend ! Off for a cup now. ATB Terry God Bless
Nice one Terry, glad you found it interesting, just going to have my homemade stew now.
i've made quite a few of these over the years, used to use different woods like oak or maple.
even make the brass drinkers that sit in the outside for the birds to drink from.

Very lovely work. Your cages are pieces of art. Thanks for sharing, very interesting.
Kelly, did the video jump or my voice stutter or anything like that?? only had a bit of a problem at my end.
The only thing I noticed was it looked a bit "wavy" at times. Not sure if it was the video, or maybe my connection out here in the sticks. Sometimes it takes several attempts on my end to watch a video all the way til the end.
Thank you for letting me know, I ended up formatting the card, plus my PC had just downloaded some updates, and the PC should have been restarted for the updates to take effect.
very interesting video,i was wondering about the cages also.take care
Great story Ray. Just got one question for you. Is there anything you cant make? Great job on the cages my friend. Great craftsmanship.
Yer, just one thing Robert, and that's a purse out of a sowl's ear, but if I put my mind to it, I might just succeed. ha ha, as I said before, Jack of all trades, master of only 2.
LOL
