Carved birdcage faces its decline in Hong Kong
Produced by
Vickie LIU Yanfei, Aria JIANG Shuyi, Emma REN Xiaoxiao, from Hong Kong Baptist University.
Handmade birdcage master Chan Luo-choi’s routine becomes revamping cages instead of crafting new ones. The 73-year-old said that the handcraft is dying now and he is one of few handmade birdcage masters in Hong Kong.
Chan opened his own store in 1971. Compared with people at present who only want big cages for their pet birds, people preferred to customize cages fitting their birds in the past. He added that during 1970s and 1980s, the store enjoyed prosperous business.
However, in the wake of several waves of bird flu in Hong Kong, the government forbade people to carry birds into public transport, causing the decline of aviculture and birdcages’ demands. Chan said that there is unreasonable to restrict the pet birds since people fond of birds take the utmost care to keep birds healthy and hygienic.
“No one wants to be apprentice so it’s hard to talk about inheritance,” he said in his current store located in the Bird Street.

This man, literally suggests a never ending unpaid internship for young people. It's senile old men like this that drive me fucking nuts. He also says that the younger generation shouldn't study and that they would rather study than work in his hell hole. Does nobody find this totally weird and in some instances illegal?

Gustavo Santos 2:58. He states that people would rather go to technicals schools or work for salaries. So he saying that people would rather work for salaries, he is implying that apprentices( previously mentioned) in this craft aren't paid.

wow, are you delusional or stupid? he never said that the younger generation should never study..he said, nowadays the younger generation rather study and get a diploma or technical skills than doing this kind of work, because it's doesn't make much money, so younger generation rather work for salaries...you are delusional!
Beautiful cages but they are too small and round cages are very bad for birds
