Also having a bug with this quest. Tried to drop a cage, but accidentally just transfered it to my horse’s inventory. Instead of actually going into the horse’s inventory though, the cage disappeared completely. There’s a quest marker where I “dropped” it but no cage in sight.
I set two traps, picked them up and set the last one and went on to do another quest while I waited and after returning and picking it up, it updated correctly. However, shortly after, I was killed by bandits, and had to revert to a save after I set the final trap but before I picked it up. I went to pick it up again, and now the sound of the nightingale was active again, and when I pick up the trap the quest doesn’t update. I thought it might be possible to talk to the guy in Rattay, since I have the three traps in my inventory (weighing me down with no ability to drop them), but no such luck. So now I’m stuck with 6 less Carry Capacity and no money from the quest, essentially.
Same here ps4
Same on PC. I’ve just abandoned it for now.
Same on xbox one x. If we could buy cages from the hunter?

I think I know a solution until the patch: When you start the quest, you get an auto save, if you still have it, load from there and do the quest without saving further until you finish it and return to the hunter. That worked for me, no saves, sleep, or even fast travel until finished, I just got the quest done, turned it in and voila, worked!
Any word on if this will be fixed soon… apparently its a very consistent bug which needs addressing, and as it’s 6 undroppable pounds in your inventory, it’s one of the more annoying quest items I’ve found that I have to hang on to

I can’t quit dialogue after receiving rewards. There are no options. My last save was few hours ago. It’s painful.
Love the game but these bugs are driving me crazy.

Quest is still bugged freezes during hand in v1.2.2
Only thing that happened to me was that one of the markers of a birdcage disappeared but after going to its location I found it and the quest proceeded along without any issue.
same issue here, i Don’t have a save as far back as before picking up the last cage, so like most people here i’m stuck with 6 pounds of useless rubbish in my inventory. console commands still work, so is there a command to drop out of a conversation?
some bug here, the last trap doesnt works
Hi, bug also for me on third cage. Old save game are too away in time I hope it will be fixed.
With 1.2.5 I still cannot finish the quest (dialog freezes). What do we need to do to get this sorted? Is there some console command to finish the quest “the hard way” (thereby skipping the dialog)?
Still can’t hand the quest in, freezes after being issued the reward v1.2.5
