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

Re: Sign of old age.
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.

Re: Sign of old age.
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. . .

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

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.

Re: Sign of old age.
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, that saloon birdhouse is a classic! You have outdone yourself!
Re: Sign of old age. Saloon Added.
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....

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!

Re: Sign of old age. Saloon Added.
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.
