A new แอกตะกร้าไม้ไผ่ is guaranteed to make her eyes sparkle again especially if you add a couple of these as well;

 

Just be careful not to spoil her, or she'll be asking for new Wellingtons next!

Joking aside, these rattan and bamboo song-bird cages are exquisite items in themselves, the price tag (of 399 baht for the largest round ones) belies the craftsmanship and labour that goes into each one.

 

I keep a spare bird cage for the times when my cats capture a wild bird, and I manage to rescue the poor creatures.

 

I pop them in the cage, hanging in a tree, and leave the cage door open so they can fly away after they've recovered. Not all do, but worth the effort nonetheless.

Bamboo strips instead of plastic-ties and string.

The UV light here destroys nylon-ties in a few months, but these bamboo strips hold tighter as they age.

Useful for your tomato and cucumber trellis
