There’s no accounting for taste…

Today on the photo blog that I do with Tracy, I posted a picture of a quaint, charming, endearing, lovely, brand new birdhouse that sits vacant.

 

Isn’t it adorable? A blogging friend made mention of our birds in Arizona not really preferring birdhouses due to the heat. And I totally agree with that except for this…..

 

 

 

Get a closer look….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now this used to be a lovely birdhouse that my brother built for my mother. It had a gorgeous green roof with green trim and white and cream paint on the body of the house. It used to have all it’s little perches also. It is an 8 unit “building” and every year – several times a year – they are all full!!!

And then there’s this “jewel”….we call it the Ted Kaczynski birdhouse. It has even had to be in the repair shop for a rebuild at least once. But guess what???  Birds love it.

Of course, my brother will tell you the birds know good craftsmanship when they see it…and I guess I would have to agree. He built a birdhouse for me that looks like a barn or rather used to look like a barn. The doves raised several families there.

There’s just no accounting for taste….
