Why Alter a Birdhouse?

My Top Ten Reasons

1. Because it was only $1.00 - and I am cheap.
2. Because it is an easy project - and I am lazy.
3. Because it gives me the opportunity to use leftover scraps - and boy do I have a lot.
4. Because everyone else does them - and I am a follower, not a leader.
5. Because I have a ton of bird embellishments – and I want to get rid of them so I can buy new ones.
6. Because I need projects to write about for my blog – and I am clear out of ideas.
7. Because it’s tiny – and after photographing it for my blog I can stick it in a corner.
8. Because I have seen them for sale at outrageous prices – and if I decided to sell it, I might be able to make a good profit.
9. Because I genuinely like birds – as long as they don’t poop on my car.
10. Because we think caged birds sing, when in fact they are really crying to be free - and birdhouses are man’s way of giving birds their wings to fly.   

 A musical roof tops this little house.

I gave this house an architectural theme with house plans, blue prints and

a tape measure trim.

There are even windows for my feathered friend.

Have you ever made a birdhouse? Have I perhaps inspired you? I hope so!
