I didn't buy this at the thrift store, but at the next best place: Room Service in Austin. Room Service is funky store with a mix of vendors selling an eclectic array of fifties, sixties and seventies wares. The prices are usually almost as good as thrift shopping and they are always marking things way down.
The bird cage was a steal and looks great in the corner of the living room, stuffed with a slightly over-sized plant. I really wanted a giant fern, but the one I bought was TOO big. Someone suggested actually getting a bird, but I said if I want to spend money on cat food I'll just buy it in a can! I'd like to find a smaller, similarly architectural cage to hang in the opposite corner. The whole idea of birdcages filled with plants strikes me as very 1970s fern bar/restaurant and make me smile. You?
