  2. How to Make a Bird Cradle

    Share Share Post
    A bird cradle is made in the Winter time. First four strong rods are got and made in to a square frame. Then four slender robs are got and one is put in each corner of the frame and are tied together with a string, about a foot and a half high. When that is done, the four sides are built with a lot of strong rods, and as the work proceeds they get gradually shorter. Then a long slender rod is got and bended round to the back of the frame and tied at each corner with two strings. That is called the pan. Last of all a small rod is got with two prongs on it and also a slender rod called the 'tugger'.
