Question

Not really gardening focused. But close. We grew some bottle gourds last year for fun. The vines almost engulfed our generator and utilities infrastructure. Anyway, I dried some and Linda suggested bird houses might be a good use. After several attempts at securing them, i found that the "Linda supplied" fabric edges were the best material for tying them in place. Here's two I set out today in our front yard. Highly visible from our kitchen window:

Answer 1

Those are big holes! Can't wait to hear what kinds of birds will use them!

Answer 2

Functional and pretty.

Answer 3

My concern is that the fabric strips will age rapidly. But until that happens, that looks so cool! I love watching the birds.

Answer 4

What fun! Last year, my wife bought me a good sized bird feeder for Christmas. We had a great time watching the different kinds of birds that came to feed - everything from tiny juncos and chickadees to blue jays, cardinals, and white wing doves. We even got to witness a bit of food chain in action as all this activity attracted a red tailed hawk or two, and some small owls. These were interesting too, but did take some of the fun out of feeding the birds.

Answer 5

I love working with clean gourds! So many things you can do with them!

Answer 6

You'll have such fun watching those bird families!

Answer 7

Good luck! They look large enough for owl or hawk nests!
