Nice!
Those are "high living" birds. Must be for CEO or politician birds.

I like the one with the fence around the front.

I made a really fancy multiplex for my dad's girlfriend ( that alone is just an odd statement, but whatever), a few years ago. It's up at our PA cabin, I'll have to get some new pictures. The OH squirrels really did some damage.

Thanks fellers, these are wren houses.
Yep post em up.

Great time of year for building next boxes, nice and new for putting up next Spring. Great looking bird boxes Lenn, definitely attract a better class of birds. . .

piller · Post by **piller** » Wed Dec 11, 2019 12:50 pm

Birds usually keep the insect population down. Nothing wrong with that.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Dec 11, 2019 1:12 pm

Thanks fellers, one more for good measure.

M. M. Wright · Post by **M. M. Wright** » Wed Dec 11, 2019 1:26 pm

Those are real nice bro. I need to make a new one for Daddy's grave. Mom fed the humming birds but Daddy liked blue birds and the bird box near his grave is in really bad shape.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Dec 11, 2019 3:02 pm

Thanks Ron, that`s a cool idea.

Malamute · Post by **Malamute** » Wed Dec 11, 2019 7:50 pm

Nice!

I need to make a few more, the couple I built have been used pretty much since I made them. I have plenty of rough cut 1x scraps around.

I really like having birds around, I feed them regularly. The bunnies hang around a lot too. They get to where they follow me around as Im putting feed out so long as the dog isnt with me at the time. I put some extra feed out in the afternoons when it gets real cold at night. They sure try to stoke up when its going to be cold.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 7:08 am

Thanks Malamute, yep lots of birds around with winter here.
Looking forward to spring to put these up.

Check this one out pards.

Love the Saloon, reckon if I was a bird that's the one I'd head for....

Pitchy, that saloon birdhouse is a classic! You have outdone yourself!

Grizz · Post by **Grizz** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 12:17 pm

love it!

is that a whiskey keg? you know there are stiff penalties for flying under the influence, hopefully the birds will have a chill-out room before takeoff....

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 12:57 pm

Thanks fellers, yep Grizz i put two perch rods above the nest in the box for sober up time

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:08 pm

A house for the coolest bird in town!
Maybe a Whiskey Jack?

Good work bud.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:11 pm

Thanks Jay, looking forward to putting them up in the spring.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:15 pm

You gonna make a little town with em? Or scatter them in different areas?

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:17 pm

Gonna put a couple on the side of the cabin the rest will hang in trees.
I have to get my chit together about cleaning houses out in the spring, seems i have more interest in my older age.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:20 pm

Cool buddy. Funny, my dad is big into feeding the birds and taking care of em too. He never did years ago.
Of course, that crazy old man also shoots all the squirrels so they don't eat the bird seed too!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:24 pm

Well as we age or at least some of us raising heck has lost it`s charm and just being left alone and finding peace in life becomes more important.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:26 pm

Yeah I can see that in myself too. I still love to hunt but care less about shooting stuff.

piller · Post by **piller** » Thu Dec 12, 2019 4:26 pm

Finding peace is not a bad thing. If fixing some really cool birdhouses and repairing old machinery does it for you, then have at it and do not listen to anyone who complains or gripes. We all deserve a chance to enjoy life.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Dec 13, 2019 2:55 pm

Gotta have a jail to go along with the saloon, and a bird camper for the tourists.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Fri Dec 13, 2019 3:02 pm

Wow, pretty neat, Lenn.

piller · Post by **piller** » Fri Dec 13, 2019 4:21 pm

A Western bird town! Now to make the feeder look like an old time eatin house.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Dec 13, 2019 4:34 pm

Thanks fellers, Norma has at least 20 bird feeders.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Dec 14, 2019 2:33 pm

Today we add transportation to the line-up.

piller · Post by **piller** » Sat Dec 14, 2019 4:45 pm

That is great! You, my friend, are one of the most creative people ever.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Dec 14, 2019 4:51 pm

Thanks buddy, it is appreciated.

your eye for proportion is about perfect. amazes me because I am wired about opposite.

I certainly have to agree to that.....

M. M. Wright · Post by **M. M. Wright** » Sat Dec 14, 2019 11:09 pm

Where's the hitch on that truck so it can pull the camper? 'Probly there and I just can't see it. Anyway that trailer is the coolest thing ever. I love it!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Dec 15, 2019 7:39 am

After we brought it into the house and seen the trailer we had the same thought, will have to put a hitch on it but not today it`s -20 this morning.

I must admit......creativity at its finest......looks like you have a whole "town" there......

Ok, a gunshop is needed with Colts and Winchesters for sale...maybe a red light house.......then all those people have to go to the bathroom so maybe a crescent moon house.

I`m a duck call kick now and frustrated

Pitch, they look extra impressive when you huddle them all together. Hope you can hang them in their own little village this spring.

OldWin · Post by **OldWin** » Mon Dec 16, 2019 2:13 pm

Very nice, Lenn.
Those would be a swell heirloom gift for some young boy. An actual quality toy.
