fov Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 The bay windows on this are similar to the Superlative Dollhouse Victorians, but I don't think it's one of those: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tag/d/dollhouse-large-custom-wood/6594151283.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wonder what his next concept will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the design would be refined. There at least has to be an opening for the birds to get in and out, eh? Maybe a regular wooden birdhouse with one wall of Plexi and a hinged wooden outer wall for peeking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Betcha momma bird will build her nest to block off most of the plexi wall; it would be interesting to see how that design would work. Our Wolf's Bay ospreycam has gone offline since an owl family took over the nest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I wonder if the seller would be sad to know that we think he has designed a spectacular birdhouse? It might make a squirrel resistant bird feeder for Kathi's garden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for squirrels, getting into this structure would be a walk in the park for those crafty little devils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thimble Hall Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 re the plexiglass "house" I am trying to be diplomatic here but I can only come up with "awful" as a house, and as a bird house it would be even worse, birds would cook in it I have to admit it is the first time I have seen a house that I felt this way about.
