No, I do not have a bird cage with a live bird inside. This is the name of three shelves I have inside.
They are called bird cage shelves, due to the shape.
I was cleaning them with Windex earlier. Amazing how many little nooks and crannies where dust can hide.
This is one of many places I keep little angels and photos of Dustin, etc. to display in my home.
Doing a little spring cleaning today inside. Snapped this photo of one of the shelves.

I laughed when I started reading your headline!!! One time I had 5-6 cages---over 26 birds--I had 4 budgies, 2 cockatoos and 20+ finches---no one told me they were worse then rabbits!
I loved them--no problems--easily trained--then the doc said I was having breathing problems due to their 'dander' so I had to get rid of them--still miss them!!

@GreatMartin The blue one looks like a bird that I used to have.

@GreatMartin I wish you could have a couple of your bird buddies. I am allergic to bird dander and dog dander. It's no fun.

I have never seen bird cage shelves before. It looks really nice. It is different, and I like that.

That's true. Dust loves to hide in the strangest of places.

Before i even get to read your discussion, i was staring at the photo and the first thing i saw was Dustin’s photo. This bird cage is a great plant rack too. If i had it i would probably put a trailing pothos in it.

@CarolDM It looks sturdy in the photo. But if it's light it's not ideal at all. It's pretty though.

@toniganzon Thank you for noticing Dustin. He is all around me. Thankfully I took many photos. It is very light, not good for plants. I thought it would be when I bought it. I use my bakers rack for most of my plants. Very pretty profile pic by the way.

That's a cute little shelf, I see why it's called a birdcage.

@CarolDM Speaking of birds, I thought of you today. A cardinal is building a nest in the bushes right in front of my kitchen pantry window at the front of my house. I have the perfect view to watch the nest, although she immediately sees me peek through the window blinds every time, which spooks her and she flies off. I hope I don't scare her so much that she decides to go build the nest somewhere else. The shrub where she is building the nest is also right beside a birdbath I set up, and I see the male cardinal drinking from it every day.

@moffittjc Oh wow. I see a pair in the yard but I can't see where they are going, in the cypress trees probably. It is that time of the year. Cardinals spook real easy. Too bad you can't get a cam setup there to record. Sounds like the perfect setup.

It is indeed a bird cage. I thought you have a bird cage on your yard for the visitor birds.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I was not sure if you had a bird or not and what Brendel and Dude would think of a bird in the home with them. It seems like dust gets in everywhere. It is a very interesting shelf and you are right it is shaped like a bird cage.

I have not done any dusting in the last few days. I have to do some tomorrow and the coming weekend would be a deep cleaning day. We hope that our carpentry project would be over by then and we would have our walk-in closet ready by then.
That's a lovely piece and quite well-called birdcage shelves.

@CarolDM Even I do my cleaning everyday. I was not well since Friday and so I just left it for three days. I am freak about cleanliness. Also doing it regularly helps. We don't get overwhelmed when things pile up.
