A birdcage that got ambitious and hired an architect.
means A large enclosure, often walk-in, built for keeping many birds so they can fly and live in something like their natural style.
from From Latin aviarium, 'place for birds,' built from avis, 'bird' — the same root that gave us aviation and aviator, so an aviary and an airplane share a feathered ancestor.
