Antique Bird Cage

I wonder what could be inside this door?

Looks like he's made himself at home right away. 

Toys, food and water, perches and 

a clean home with plenty of space

I guess all a bird could want is a friend.
He does look a tad lonely in there...

Don't you love antique bird cages?  

I thought about making a more "shabby" style
 but decided this would be a better option for a resident. 

Maybe I'll go that route next time.  

For now, I'm tickled with how this turned out. 
 I must say the kit was silly easy to put together 
(You just have to be extra careful with the filigree)
