Quaint bird homes

Hi there

While surfing the net I came across this website full of quaint bird houses.

How far do we go to give our birds their home comforts?

  • Never mind would the birds use them, the question is whether the birds would even recognise what on earth they were!

    I did quite like the Noah's Ark one though - you'd end up with a blue tit that was twice the size of a giraffe.  Radioactive or what?!

  • I think they're kind of cute, lol!  Don't think they'd look quite right in our garden somehow though!

     

    I don't know about the birds using them but while looking at them I couldn't figure out how if you were a Blue Tit looking for a home how you'd get in it!  

    I think they're a bit unpractical, looking at the ones where I figured out where the hole is, some of them the hole seemed to be quite close to the base - surely that puts the chicks at risk?
