E.H.'s Birdcage

We have an old birdcage that sits on our front porch.

It's covered in beads and stuff, not birds although both birds sit on it once in awhile.

The cool thing about this cage is we aquired it many years ago when we purchased a business from a prominent Key West family.

It came off Earnest Hemingway's front porch when they were fund raising to make his home there a museum.

He's known for 6 toed cats, but I guess he had birds too.

Wonder what kind he had in there.

Wow, if it was Ernest Hemingway's, it is an antique of veritable history. I hope it has some protection from the weather to stay in good shape. He did have parrots, maybe somebody here can tell you what they were. Or you could Google him and find out.
