Welcome - About Me!



Welcome to Asian Bamboo Bird Cages blog!  This is my website to accompany my ebay store, which I will launch soon.  Collecting and raising exotic birds have always been a lifetime hobby and passion of mine for the last thirty years.  When I moved to the States in 1997, I still manage to find time for my bird pastime. However, I was really disappointed with the lack of high quality bird cages in the States.  Well, that's not exactly true since the aesthetics and variety here are very distinct.  Many cages are metal, many are wood. But perhaps because of certain kind of nostalgia for the homeland, I prefer the Asian-style, high-quality bamboo cages with elegant wood cravings.  Understandingly, there are not many distributors here in the States which specializes in the kinds I want.  There are several on ebay and from other traders, but I find the prices well beyond what I am willing to pay for.  I began to start building my own cages.  Over time, I have learned that in order to make quality cages, one needs high quality woods.  Thus, I have decided to built my own networks, from my trips back home.  I went straight to the craftsman themselves all over Vietnam.  And as a result, I manage to secure a diverse selection of cages, from rosewood, to high quality bamboo wood.  I hope to share my passion for bird collecting with you.  Subsequent posts will be about the selection of cages I carry, straight from my converted garage-to-warehouse.

  1. Yes, our bird cages are nothing to look at. Beautiful bird, beautiful cage! Looking for a nice size cage for a green singer. Do you sell one that you could recommend? Have a 20" round stand to set it on. Needing a pretty cage.
