Yep, this gives new meaning to over kill. Hope your tenants get along better than mine. As the maintance supervisor for a 168 unit complex here is some advice. First no rival bird gangs allowed. Second keep out the Seed Dealers. Third no professional birds allowed they spread chirppes the canarial desease and its untweatable.

WOW ….what a birdhouse. My problem would be where to put it. LOL

That is one more birdhouse. At least it wasn’t like the guy who built the boat in his basement only to realize that it was too big to get out the door. Very impressive. I am sure that you will have some very happy guests before long.

Thanks for sharing.

I know what my homeowners association would say.

Good thing Mr D came to the rescue!! Quite a project :-) If Mr D isn’t avialable for the next one, yoiu can set the pole and use my belt and spurs to take the bird house up and set it :-))

Excellent birdhouse and a wonderful back yard! I hope you get many years of pleasure out of both.

We can now give directions to our house by saying “it’s the house with the birdhouse in the front yard. You’ll know when you see it.” :)

They will certainly get a bird’s eye view from up there Humungo…....cool job.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

Thats wonderful. How are you going to clean it out and plug the holes until the Martins return?

what a fantastic addition to your garden scene
great job!!

I think that rick has outdone himself with this one. looks like you are looking for an onset of purple martins. It may already be to late for this year but that dosent take away from the bird house. nothing quite the help of a neighbor to set things in place.

thanks everyone.

We aren’t too worried about what kind of birds move in, although it would be nice to see Purple Martins.

to clean it, we have a big ladder and he’ll just use a wire with a hook on the end to pull out old nesting material. (notice I said “he will”) :)

Here’s a picture of the front of the birdhouse.

Have the birds moved in? I’m wondering about the wide platform it sets on causing them to worry.

-- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery.

it just went up yesterday and we’ve seen some birds checking it out.

a couple of other birdhouses that Rick has made has a platform. The birds sit on it a lot and use the top holes for their nests.

oh and the board shown in the building pictures is just for layout. The actual base is about the size of the dividers .

It must be high enough they don’t worry about cats.

This is nuts! In a good way. I’ll bet the neighbourhood cats are already making their plans… !!!

you mean like this?

last week we caught our neighbour’s cat trying to get the baby robins under the roof of our shed.

Shame on that putty kat!! Was he successful”

-- Debt is nothing more than the 21st Century's form of slavery.

nope… the overhang is pretty big. There wasn’t much of a chance for the cat :)

What a birdhouse! I’m certainly glad I don’t have to clean it! Debbie, does Rick know that you’ve delegated the cleaning to him? ;-)
