An improved seed catching cage apron includes four identical pieces. Each piece is a substantially trapezoidal sheet having long parallel sides and short angled sides. An L-shaped tab is located on one of the angled sides near the longer of the parallel sides and an angled flange extends along most of the length of the other angled side. The angle of the angled sides and the angle of the angled flange are such that when four of the pieces are arranged together, the parallel sides of adjacent pieces meet at right angles with the angled flange of each sheet lying parallel to the surface of an adjacent sheet. In this configuration, the L-shaped tab of each sheet interlocks the angled flange of an adjacent sheet. According to the preferred embodiment, a notch is provided on each angled side near the short parallel side for receiving and engaging a corner post of a rectangular cage structure. Other preferred aspects of the invention include providing a lip along the long parallel side so that it is blunted and more attractive, fabricating the sheets from sheet metal, and attaching the flange and tab by welding.
