Decoration: Metal Cage is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks: A lightweight metal cage for a parrot with a perch and a small door.
How Recipe Papers Work
Recipe Papers are looted in the world: most often from chests in pirate camps, ruins in the Coastal Jungle, and points of interest scattered across the archipelago. Some merchants in Tortuga also rotate a small selection of plans through their stock. The paper is consumed when it is read. Reading the paper adds the listed entry to the relevant crafting station's recipe list permanently for that character, with no further fee.
What It Unlocks
Reading the paper unlocks A lightweight metal cage for a parrot with a perch and a small door at the Workbench.
Building Set
This recipe is part of the Old World set, a heavy timber-and-iron style fitting older European buildings. Collecting and reading every paper in the same building set gives a coherent visual style across walls, furniture, and decoration pieces.
Where to Find
Drops most reliably from looted chests in pirate camps and ruined points of interest, with occasional appearances in cargo crates from defeated NPC ships and in random trader stock at Tortuga. Once read, the unlocked entry is bound to the character that read it; share-base members must each find and read their own copy.

Tips
Carry duplicates as trade bait. Until a base stockpiles every recipe paper for a building set, an extra copy is a strong barter chip with other crews.
Read papers at a base, not on a ship. Some plans add bulk decoration sets that flood the crafting menu, and being at a workshop helps preview new entries immediately.
Once read, the unlock is permanent for that character. Reading a second copy does nothing, so a duplicate paper is best traded or sold.
