Charlie's birdcage

Post by danbar »

I completed my replica of Charlie's birdcage (Batgirl's pet). I thought this would be a fun item to have in the background behind my life-size Batgirl figure (which is currently under renovation).

I believe the stand is identical to the one used on the show. The birdcage is the same shape and design, but is a bit smaller than the one on the show. So far, I have been unable to find a larger one with the same shape and design. So for now, the contents of the cage have been scaled down to fit this one. Thinking about getting an engraved plate for the front of the cage with the name Charlie, just for fun.

I seem to recall Charlie's first cage was different in at least one episode? (The pilot?)

I made this one (not necessarily striving for screen accuracy) to go with my 8" Batgirl.
