Cheap room for rent - wrens only need apply
I have a collection of dollar store birdhouses decorating the front of our carport.
Last year, a little wren decided to make this one her home to raise a family. We were a little nervous that the chicks would dislodge the house from the nail it was hanging on, so we screwed in a hook on each side, then tied some string across the front of the house, thereby making it more secure..
I saw a wren investigating the house today. I wonder if we will have new renters. The rent is cheap, just keep the insect population down, and we will call it good.
How cute! My bird houses only attract sparrows, and they reward my generosity by eating my lettuce and peas.
ReplyDeleteThey will come and answer the gesture of generosity. Cheerful morning chirps is enough as payment for the rent, i guess. ~bangchik
ReplyDeletehope the wren makes her home there again, cute row of birdhouses
ReplyDeleteRoom for one more "old" bird, I wanna live there, live there!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have searched the city for a cute bird house - - for my balcony.
I should have known better and saved myself the time, but found the cutest birdhouse in good ol'Germany. Will send you a pic soon ;-) GINCO
I hope the little wrens move in again this year. Maybe you will also get a few more renters in the other houses. Hard to beat the rent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely lace look all those houses give to the carport. Hope you have lots of new renters.
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of bird houses. Maybe you will be able to rent out more of them ;-)
ReplyDeleteCute collection! Isn't it interesting that the wren picked the house that looks the most "natural"?
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Only yellow jackets wanted to live in my wren box! Keeping my fingers crossed!
ReplyDeletethat's a very beautiful birdhouse!
