Early 20th century wonderful whimsical bronze bird feeder

A quite unusual and whimsical bird cage or most likely a hanging feeder, in the shape of a ball cage. It is made of Bronze and features a wonderful blue green patina, except for parts of the holding ring. The way the door opens implies a bird or creature has escaped as it is bent outward. This has been a favorite item of ours for years and we just unearthed it out of a storage unit. It will endear itself to anyone who hangs it.
Excellent with some patina loss to the bronze holding ring on top.
