Extreme Birdhouse # 20

[JTimmons]

I was thinking that's way you would've done it, mounted to a tree.

I got to say mounted up, it's that more impressive. Very nice!

Thanks JTimmons
i dug these 2 down almost 5 ft .then i used some branches for the supports.
i also brace the main post for about 3 months until the ground hardens up.
thanks again

With that many birds living there, there can't be any bugs in the entire county. Awesome job. About how long does it take start-to-finish for one one these wonderful creations?

Thanks Larry
Your right i don't bet very many bugs.
this house took me about 10 days starting with pulling all the nails from the wood to what you see now.
it takes about 7 or 8 hrs just to cut the logs.
i also had to primer and paint the roof and railings and water sealed the rest.
thanks again

Do you get a lot of birds nesting in them or is mostly for show? I find that if I have single bird houses to close together birds shy away from them.

Thanks Wayne.
i have 7 or 8 birds nesting in each of the large houses. there are always birds on them.
i have been trying to get some pictures of them but i need a camera with zoom. they take off when i try to get close to them.
