Beautiful Birdcages

I wonder why there is something so appealing about birdcages? Perhaps it is because they are such versatile accessories in decorating. They really can be used in a myriad of different ways as the following pictures illustrate....

Beautiful birds

I have noticed that ornamental birds and birdcages are a recurring theme in my home.

This gorgeous bird followed me home a few days ago.



He sits atop a pile of books. Can you detect a common theme running through the books?

This birdcage with a little plant inside greets you at my front door

This sweet picture resides on the wall above the birdcage at my front door

A group of birdcages on my patio - waiting for some greenery, succulents maybe - any suggestions?

These little birdbaths stand amongst my herbs. Sometimes the pigeons come to drink from them - I think they were meant for daintier birds!

I would love to own some little silver birds like these



... or maybe these



I've seen these vinyl stickers advertised - have any of you tried them?

I love this birdcage tea towel

I also love to see real bird life in my garden
