I added a little something to the retired-guys 'to do' list this week. He's been helping me with my new-found-hobby and building and hanging bird houses around the property. We are keeping them close to the mouse-house so we can enjoy the activity they may bring.
Here's the latest one with a cathedral roof. We found the perfect old maple that would make a fine spot for a new feathered family. As soon as the varnish dried, I headed out after the snow-squall (yep, still having them) and added one more house 'For Rent'.
Notice, before hanging, the perch has been removed. I read that the birds do not need it and if not removed it becomes a place for predators to hang on as they do their dirty deed.
Well, we can't have that now.
So far, there was one little starling drop by for a tour of the popular blue house.
She stayed awhile and looked at the home from many angles. I expect she may be back with her hubby to make the final decision.
It's an 'Open House'
24/7.
The sun is out
and the creatures are stirring.
Wishing you a lovely day.
hugs, Deb
I really like the cathedral roof! Hope some birdie family moves in soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely bird house . Hope you get lots of tenants in your bird houses ! The sun finally came out here after a snow fall that was a surprise this morning thankfully it is all melting now . Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteNice digs! I'm sure the for rent sign will need to be taken down soon!
ReplyDeleteYour new bird house is awesome. I didn't know that about a perch... good information. Thank you. I am so glad you are enjoying your new hobby and the birds must love all the attention!
ReplyDeleteYour blue and white look wonderful there in the step back. It gave me a smile today... thanks!
Love,
Lily
I'm sure the birds appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteYour cupboard looks so lovely there! And I love the cathedral! I don't know if any birds have found my houses but they are certainly being seed pigs! Which, of course, Lizzie adores!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping you get some sweet little Wrens...
ReplyDeleteThey will amaze you with their beautiful song....
Of course....a Chickadee would also be fine!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
I'm loving all your sweet little bird houses! I hope each one is filled!
ReplyDeleteCute house
ReplyDeleteRe perch - my understanding, different breeds do/don't need them. House size, hole size, perch/not will attract different birds.
Of course, all bets off if squirrel gnaws at hole
