Cage Ribs:
Wall ribs along the sides of the nave completed these bays which were then divided into four triangles by diagonal ribs, mak¬ing a total complement of six ribs for each bay. Since all these ribs were semicircular and began to curve or spring from the same level, it fol¬lowed that the apex of the longer diagonal ribs must be higher than that of the Wall and trans¬verse ribs and hence that the vaults supported by them were somewhat domical. Each rib in turn required support; hence, the Lombards devised the membered pier with a pilaster or colonnette in the pier to correspond to each rib in the vault above.Transfer fledgling to cage ribs when it becomes active. Use commercial canary cage ribs for young jay; large bird cage ribs for crow and magpie (see Part IV). Cover cage ribs bottom with thick layer of bird gravel. Place limb with sturdy branches in cage ribs as perch. Train pet to use cage ribs for headquarters by keeping food and water there.
