Threes a crowd and a good sound...

Point of interest -

At Douglas Fisher, we have an excellent range of single and double singing birds in cages.  When you get to three or even four birds singing under one cage, you are suddenly transported into super rare territory.  With the use of many more components to undertake this task, each bird takes their turn to sing their own passage of the song.  Sizes of cages differ with smaller sizes like this one much in demand due to the intricacy's involved that make it all possible.
