Bird cages are a tradition. that's what can be found in Dawuhan Mangli Village Sukowono Region in Jember East Java Indonesia. Most of the people here make bird cages more than just a source of earning. men and women work in quality here, women usually paint the cages, and they can also do men's work in installing the bars of the cages. they work from morning to almost dawn at their houses which are also their workshop. they just like what kahlil gibran said " work is love made visible".
they are real role models for their children. at first, bird cages were made from rattan. as the rattan became rare, they now make the cages from regular wood.
