I want a whole bunch of ‘em so’s I can build my dream: ~White Dove Trailer Trash Park. Imagine the fun with all the name callin!:

“Your daddy’s a ~Rough Faced Shag~!”
“You don’t know me! Your brothers a ~Cock of the rock~!”
“Your little sister is a ~Red faced booby~!”
“Really? I saw you messing with ~Chuck wills widow~!”
“What about that uncle of yours, prancing around here like a ~Spangled Drongo~ with his boyfriend, that fat ~Brown Trembler~, and I seen ‘em both ~Whip Poor Will~ behind the cock fighting shed!”

50c for a cup of seed to throw at ‘em!

I lived in a 1957 Shasta trailer in the parking lot of CalArts that was painted just like the yellow one. 7 x 13 feet and it was actually pretty nice. I wonder if it’s still there?

Um, I’m sorry but I don’t think these birdhouses look so good after you tie them up high in the tree and in distance.
Probably looks like some punk nailed a beer can in your tree.
But given a chance, I would love to live in one of them…

Dual purpose: also favored by the local squirrels as a diner…

Those are awesome. I’m going to have to try to make one myself, sometime. Maybe mount it on a platform with a little picnic table and wire trashcan.

I’ve got a couple hipster golden finches that hang around my place eating all my sunflower seeds and laying about making noise looking all gaudy in yellow.
I bet they live in one these somewhere down the street.
