BIRDCAGE
One of the most photographed sites in Bermuda, the Hamilton birdcage is a traffic kiosk in Hamilton at the junction of Front Street and Queen Street, where a bobby (policeman) clad in Bermuda shorts can usually be seen directing traffic. Built-in 1962, it was named after The Corporations of Hamilton´s engineer who designed it, Michael “Dickey” Bird. Today the birdcage is less a necessity for maintaining traffic flow than it is a vestige of old Bermuda when everything moved at a slower pace.
