I came upon this scene the other day. If I was one of my fine feathered friends, I would be scratching my head approaching this one. It looks cool and enticing but not very practical. Enticing but not practical. I usually come across a couple of these type items a day in my travels. I think we all do. Sometimes, I just shake my head. At other times, I have to stop and marvel a bit, maybe wonder where this world will be in another 100 years. Grampa was a practical man. A good deal of his world revolved around his workshop in his cellar, where everything was in its place and all items were there for a reason. I like to think I'm a bit of a practical man myself, but I've got some work to do. I better get busy!
I like it, a novel approach to a bird house. Hope it serves its purpose.
ReplyDeletedu pop art pour les oiseaux, j'adore
ReplyDeleteIf I were a bird, I would most certainly take up residence there.
ReplyDeleteVery much like humans, sometimes we give up comfort for appearances. It's a great birdhouse with lots of style@
ReplyDeletepractical, perhaps, but you also have a fair measure of whimsy to you, birdman.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of some very strange mailboxes I have captured. Just weirdly interesting. Great find!
ReplyDeleteI like this; it is creative and unusual! Once and then it is good to appreciate impractical things...
ReplyDeleteartful but too holey. :)
ReplyDeletethis one will attract all the progressive hipster birds.
ReplyDeleteIt is like a lot of modern designs - look good but don't function very well - e.g. Starck orange squeezer!
ReplyDeleteIs this what a drunk bird might see?
ReplyDeleteI like it, so might sparrows. But for different reasons. The sparrows would probably admire its shape and form, whereas I see a beautiful dwelling!
ReplyDeleteA birdhouse made of moldy swiss cheese? The arrow pointing the way to Timothy Leary's old house?
ReplyDeleteMy gut says that I'm pessimistic about the state of the world in a hundred years. My head says that the accuracy of predictions of the future is low. We won't be here to find out.
This is a fine bird house . . . for Portland, Maine, four hours away from here! Down here, we have restrictive zoning . . .
ReplyDeleteHigh rise condos!
ReplyDeleteThat is one very funky birdhouse, I like it a lot!!
