I hung the birdhouses today... this one is one I made... It started as a piece of old fencing with a knot-hole in it... so I made it into a box, and hung it on my fence...
And this one started out as a trashed ukulele... I play ukes, and this one ended up here some how or other. It doesn't sound good, and it wasn't worth fixing, so I hung it on the fence too...
I don't know if either of these will inspire a home-making instinct in any of my local feathered denisens, but I have been noticing song sparrows and house wrens flitting around the neighborhood and poking into little spaces, so I thought it was time to make sure they had a home if they wanted it. And that's about it. I haven't had a very exciting week...
But next week will be better, I'm sure.
Who woud have thought to create a ukuele birdhouse! very creative! That will be the first one occupied!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Pudgeduck...that is a very cool birdhouse! They are gonna love it. I like your other one too, with the knot hole! You are such a good friend to the birds! I was thinking I should hang a birdfeeder outside my kitchen window so I can see them year-round...just have to keep it high enough that my cat can't jump them!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure... the ukulele hole is a little too large. I used to have a bird feeder here, but the local cats were using it like a smorgasborg. And they weren't nice cats... I'm talking those big burly alley cats.
ReplyDeleteKinda scary...
