Bean has been asking me on various occasions over the last several weeks if we could make a birdhouse but I'm simply not handy with saws, wood, etc. Because it was a Sunday afternoon and I was still dragging my feet with this persistent cold, I asked if she'd be interested in a cardboard version (I could manage that!). She didn't know the difference, to tell you the truth, so there I was -- armed with an orange Le Creuset box, scissors and packing tape. Within 30 minutes, we had ourselves a smashing birdhouse -- ahem, obviously unsuitable for rain and snow but we hung it under our covered porch where it blows in the wind and I'm still not quite sure if any birds have visited but Bean swears that some of the seed had been eaten...
wow! good job! i have no idea if it'd be suitable for actual bird living - you'll have to let us know. :)
