There are so many real estate shows on television. I thought it might be fun to literally take a bird’s eye view of house hunting. With that in mind, let’s explore the options for bird houses.
Bird House Requirements:
Elevated to protect from predators.
Roof overhang and sturdy construction as shelter against the weather.
Multiple perching locations.
Entry hole big enough for the resident, while keeping out larger birds.
Located near food and water.
Bird House Building Materials:
Wood (Most common)
Grapevines
Ceramics
Wine Corks
Architecture & Design:
Alpine Chalet
Boho
Castle
Two-Story Colonial
Log Cabin
Log Cabin Adjacent to a Food Store
Unconventional Single-Family Home
Tropical Villa
Multi-Tenant Housing:
Row Houses
Apartment Building
Log Cabin
Urban Housing Development
High Rise Condominiums
Most Important Factors in Real Estate – Location! Location! Location!:
Botanical Garden
Apple Orchard
Wooded Lot
Waterfront (Duck House)
Hazardous Sites:
Flood Zone
Window Ledge in Wild Cat Area (a.k.a. Feline Box Lunch)
Community Services:
Signpost Birdhouses
Whoever created this points-of-interest signpost had a great sense of humor, including Papa Noel (a.k.a. Santa Claus) and Castle Dracula! lol
Bat Houses
Bats excel at eating insects. Attract a few bats to your property and enjoy a much less “buggy” summer. If you have fruit trees, bats are great pollinators too.
I hope you are inspired to build or purchase a birdhouse. Many species are in decline, and this is an easy way to preserve nature, while expressing your unique creative style.
Thanks for Reading & Happy Crafting!

Well it looks i have a problem…
I don’t have enough wine corks for building a high rise
condominiums, so maybe needs a lot of help drinking
many bottles of delicious wine with cheese.
Do you want to help me? You can invite to your mother and her Prince.
Lol!.
