Birdcaging of Wire Ropes

In birdcaging, the strands spring away from the core or inner strands. If these are not cut away then the rope requires replacement. This defect too is irreversible in nature

Bird caging results from careless handling during installation when ropes are lapped off reel or coil and then pulled away springing the strands away from core.

Similarly non rotating ropes (Multi Strand Ropes) are prone to such damage because of large number of small strands as compared to 6 strand ropes.

It can  also result of suddeen release of heavy loading on the rope and which has been localized at the entry to a tight grooved sheave
