If These (Birdhouse) Walls Could Talk

6/20/2019

After seeing a few photos of bird nests today, and because it’s been some time since I did a blog on “If These Walls Could Talk,” I decided to combine both for this week’s blog topic.  In honor of the first official day of summer tomorrow (and because I think those nest pictures were telling me something) our house this time around will be – bird houses. 
 
Take a look at some fun examples I found online.  (The first photo is actually the final bird nest photo which pushed me into doing this topic.)
I’m not even going to try to guess what the walls of these birdhouses would say, if they could talk.  I’m sure at least one of my siblings probably called me a birdbrain when I was young, but I couldn’t begin to imagine what – if anything – birds think about.
 
I suppose this could also be a topic on crafts and creativity.  Because the sample bird houses above show that people can be very ingenious when it comes to designing them.  A bird house can be as simple as a few scrap boards nailed together, or an elaborate bird condo complex.  It can be a great starter project for someone learning basic carpentry skills, or it can be an elaborate, hours-long endeavor. 
 
Whether the designs are simple or complicated, it is fortunate so many people take the time to build them for the many birds who would otherwise have difficulty finding a home.  So come to think of it, maybe I do know what these walls would say if they could talk.  I think it would be a simple yet heartfelt “Thank You” to the builders.  That’s it.  Simple and sweet, like summer itself.
 
I hope you enjoy these pictorial reminders of summer.  See you next week.
