When I moved into the Cosy Cabin, I discovered this little trailer suspended from a tree’s branch in the back garden. It’s a bird-house. It was empty when I moved in, and may, in fact, never have been used. I hope to see it utilised in the spring, but do not know if it is amenable for birds (it is of course unsupported and might even be dangerous to eggs and hatchlings on a windy day), and may not be what a young bird-couple would want. It looks rather aged; it perhaps has been hanging there since the model of trailer it represents was new. But I will see what happens, perhaps after some research into how to make it more attractive to avian tenants. To start with, they won’t beat the rent, and there’s no damage deposit required.
Classic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous toy, if not a terrific birdhouse.
That's the most creative bird house I've ever seen. It would be great TV for the cats if it were occupied this spring!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a birdhouse like that; I wonder if someone converted it from a kid's toy? It would be great if some birds found a home there!
ReplyDeleteThe only bird I know of that would use a "moving about" bird house is a house wren. Maybe a European House Sparrow. Most birds do want a solid foundation. The cats at Cosy Cabin could really enjoy a live bird show here!
