Bird Habitat #4

* General Byrds House *

I love this birdhouse...it was very hard to let go..lol. 

Perfect for that bird in your yard who is very bossy .....the 

one that even scares cats !

This birdhouse stands 18" tall from the bottom of the wheels to the top of the flag...it is 15" to the top of the ring on the roof.... width of the wood birdhouse base is 5.5" wide. The 

house is attached to the truck.

 The birdhouse has a metal roof with a metal star at the front...near the peak of the roof. 

The vintage metal toy truck is 12" long.  The toy truck is army green and still retains its tires and you can see a bit of the star decal on top of the trucks roof.  Toy trucks in decent 

condition are very hard to find !

The flag is cloth with a wood dowel slid into 

2 eye hooks in the back....easy to replace or add your own flag.

Because I use recycled materials, you can see that items are not perfect....some rust or a scratch here and there, 

small dent etc. is part of the charm.

I Will Fowl You Anywhere.....

Bird Habitat # 3

~ Wings Of Flight ~

I love copper & was tickled to find this coffee pot a few weeks ago. I actually had this designed  in my head even before I

arrived home & just knew what a whimsical 

bird house this would make.

The birdhouse stands 9.75" tall. The pot retains its 

original brass knob on the lid as well as 

the wood handle on the side.

On the front a fairy as in flight rests in front of a vintage clock face. A brass set of wings & a ring of filigree decorate the 

opening which is 1.25" diameter. As a perch I added a vintage  brass keyhole with rod & a vintage 

brass button at the end.

On each side of the coffee pot we attached a loop for hanging on the tree with your wire or chain.

The top of the coffee pot lifts up as usual thus allowing the owner to clean occasionally for the next tenant.

Because I use recycled materials, you can see that items are not perfect....some rust or a scratch here and there, 

small dent etc. is part of the charm.

It's For The Birds......too much fun...

Bird Habitat # 2

Maxwell's House

OK....the name of this birdhouse is just a bit obvious and somewhat unoriginal....lol... but you never know if that homeless intelligent bird may have this exact name! 

Hopefully it doesn't belong to some hungry feline. 

Constructed with a vintage coffee can as the house ....the open air roof with patio is a bent vintage license plate. On the 

of all the higher class birdie neighbors. 

Each side of the house is attached a vintage brass laundry pin in which to hang on a tree with your chain or wire. 

As you understand since the house is metal....it should be 

placed in a shaded area out of direct sun.

The decor of the house consists of 4 antique typewriter keys spelling "BIRD" for the intelligent fowl and we all know cats can not read. A pocket watch frame surrounds the 1.25" opening entrance. A vintage spoon handle below the opening 

as a perch completes this enchanting abode.

The top of the coffee can is attached with screws thus allowing the 

owner to open the can and clean occasionally 

for the next tenant.

Because I use recycled materials, you can see that items are not perfect....some rust or a scratch here and there, small 

dent etc. is part of the charm.  

~ We haven't gotten any complaints from the birds ! ~

This birdhouse is 10" tall with a base at 5" diameter.

A NEW Venture With The Hubbie !

A NEW venture with the hubbie...

hmmm.....did I see those brown eyes roll to the back of his head..lol ?

Yes, spring is here ! Time for new and fun projects...our garage and out buildings are brimming to the roof with treasures and a few surprises....just waiting for me to repurpose and recycle. 

We have a good size backyard filled with squirrels, rabbits, a hedgehog and birds. Last year a mama bird built a nest in a basket right next to our back door. For weeks we used the front door to get in a out of the house for fear of scaring the skittish 

mother. One day the babies decided to fly ....I actually saw them all take off from the nest....they never came back.

This spring, I decided our birds needed housing...birdie castles, birdie condos, birdie penthouses, apartments and birdie

cottages. After scrounging in our out buildings and a few thrift shops I found some fun containers & embellishments 

for the birds habitats. 

Here is the first of many to come that we are also offering for sale....as the wise owl would say 

"what a hoot"....

~ The Castle ~

Fit for the expecting Queen and her future brood and 

standing all of 19.5" tall ...this deluxe accommodation is made of a large lidded potato chip tin with an upside down 

funnel at the top. A lamp burner rests on the funnel spout giving the 

illusion of a tower with a turret.

The base of the castle is 7.5" diameter.

The front of the tin showcases a large brass crossed axe and sword, a over the entrance hole (1.25" opening) that has metal beading and a vintage skeleton key inserted in 

a metal key hole for a perch.

Each side of the large tin feature an oval filigree with a large brass lion head as if roaring and a large brass laundry pin which functions as a hanger to hang from a tree with your chain or wire. Of course, one must hang a metal birdhouse out of the sun.

The top of the castle is attached with screws thus allowing the owner to open the can and clean occasionally for the next set of Royalty.

Because I use recycled materials, you can see that items are not perfect....some rust or a scratch here and there, small dent etc. is part of the charm.
