Tips for an Amigurumi Delight
Keep the bird small enough to sit naturally inside the cage — about one-third of the cage height. Work cage bars with a tight single crochet over wire, spacing them evenly around the base ring. Add a tiny perch from a short piece of wire wrapped in yarn for realistic detail.
