The Wooden Cage is a structure designed to confine creatures. Admins use it to temporarily hold dinos during transfers, breeding programs, or when managing creature populations on a server.
Because it has an item ID, you can spawn it either with GiveItem using the ID or with the GFI command. The cage does not stack, so each spawn creates a single placeable structure.
