Feel Free To Make Fun Of My Birdhouse

[Lee]

I am going to hang a sign under it reading "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home"

In my defense, I do have a nice new one but the birdies started building in this old one before I could get it up. And the birdie babies came out day before yesterday and mom and pop immediately made plans for another batch.

New one goes up next year with a squirrel guard.

Any bird should love living there.

Well, it IS well ventilated! And perhaps they have used the same place, year after year - There IS no place like home!

Ye Olde homestead.

Why would anyone make fun of it? I use to have an old steer head with horns hanging on the side of my barn, every year Bluebirds nested in it. After twenty years that head was about the rattiest thing you could imagine, but I wouldn't get rid of it because the Bluebirds liked it. Who was I to chose their home? lol

It looks nice. The birds probably think it is beautiful.

Lee, when Larry the Lark get's his TV and Settee in there, he won't know himself.

 

[JustBonee]

Looks very 'homey' to me. Birds should love it.

 

[Phynix]

That's beautiful! The birds will certainly enjoy this for years!!

We have nests in planters, light fixtures and under overgrown bushes...

Are you looking for a particular type of bird?

I take whatever bird wants free rent.

The sparrows are in that house. Another has a pair of wrens. The robins have a shelf. And one house has been unoccupied for two seasons. Got a good variety of birds but some prefer the trees..

Your box is very nice, doesn't like it needs replacing for a
long time, Lee.

Won't the squirrel be able to jump across from the bush,
they are very agile little animals.

Here is a link to a live camera in a nesting box in Yorkshire,
the man who put it there built the box from part of a tree
trunk, he is a wild life photographer and was on the news
on TV last night.

The bird might be old but it's fine, Lee. As long as your tenants are happy you're good to go.

Feel Free To Make Fun Of My Birdhouse​

No way

The birds love it
That's all that needs to be said

We inherited an old avian abode at an old house we refurbed

The birds raised many a fam there

They loved it
I loved it

Yup

Had one hanging up at the cabin

A tiny wren made it its 'Home Tweet Home'



The steer head had a rather nice flat perch



This pic reminds me why I now live in town

I've got bird house over my deck Wrens build in ever year. Those little birds must be nothing but a set of lungs with wings, that something so small can sing so loudly amazes me. I love having them around.

 

[Jules]

I’d choose that home with the beautiful front garden too.

 

[Kika]

It's beautiful! It is obvious the birds think so too!

 

[Jan14]

You have beautiful landscaping and flowers!

That is so true
That little guy could SING!

 

[RadishRose]

The house is loved by those birds, and what a beautiful garden they have around them!

Cute Lee... and the garden is beautiful too...

This is a little bit of my set up.. I have 2 nesting boxes, one in the tree, another on the fence in the style of a British Post box.....

 

[Remy]

Very cute and if the birds liked it, that's what mattered.

 

[Geezer Garage]

With rents being what they are now days, you should be full up for the foreseeable future Lee. I have a wren house right out side the kitchen window, and they do have quite a set of pipes for ones so small. I have Blue Birds that nest in the cab of my backhoe in the overhead every year for as long as I can remember. I use the machine often, but it doesn't seem to deter them in the least.

I’ll bet you go through lots of seed !

 

[hollydolly]

I’ll bet you go through lots of seed !

Yes I certainly do. So much, that I had to find a place to store it where vermin wouldn't be attracted to it, so I bought a new wheelie bin, and it's used solely to store bird food..
