Bird-Cage Earrings Containing Live Birds

Worn by actress Shary Marshall - Apr 1967. Designed by Lynda Bird Johnson, daughter of President Johnson. The cages contained Australian Snow Finches.

They would pair well with this bird hat that we've previously posted about (worn by actress Jane Bough in 1968).

They make me think about the Middle Ages hanging cages where a prisoner would barely have enough space to sit.

Did they put newspaper at the bottom of the cages? Otherwise, it would be risky.

To meet some new friends, try wearing them to a PETA meeting.
