Oriental-style cages were popular during the Deco period, from
the 1920s until the 1940s. One example, probably manufactured by
Hendryx, was a round, hanging pagoda-style cage with a brass-
wire seed screen and side-out tray. The bottom was fastened to
the top part of the cage with small, attached brass clips. On
some models from this era, the clips were adorned with small
owls or little figures of Asian men. The stands for some of
these cages echoed the shape of the cage. Stylized Deco cages
were also made in Germany, incorporating cut glass and
perforated metal inserts into the designs. Canaries were popular
pets during this period, and around 1929-1930, Hartz Mountain
produced small, wood carrying cages labeled with the company
name. A newer metal version later appeared. The American Radio
Warblers, billed as canary songsters, were featured on live
radio broadcasts during this era. The birds sang along with
background music, and some of the recordings still exist on
78-RPM records (check Internet auction si
