Abstract
A modular bird or animal cage accessory assemblage generally made of resilient materials, includes interchangeable rods engageable with a C-shaped system clasp having a corresponding channel guide for receiving the rods therein. The rods are held in place by a combination of the position of the rods within corresponding channel guides of one or more clasps and by the use of central sphere branched connectors, which branched connectors may be rapidly and easily loosened for dismantling of the assemblage, so that the rods can be re-used in other configurations. A systematic plurality of rods is provided with incremental dimensioned variations, so that the size of the assemblage can be varied while preserving the ability to create hollow spaces between the rods. Expansion of the size of the containers is accomplished by axial connection of the rods.
