Elmer

Is that a feeder tray made out of plastic storage container lid? Any luck with it?

Some beautiful birds on those houses.

Elmer,
You have a very nice setup.


I grew up on Park Hill, there in NLR, so I'm familiar with the winds and weather there. Are you located up near the top of one of those hills, or near a lower elevation? I ask these questions because I wonder about the Trio Castle. Is that the pole that comes with the house? What size is it? Do you feel it will withstand a good wind with that big boxey TRIO?

Also, beautiful wooden houses. Are these your own design? I also like the way you added the perches over the board holding the gourds.

Joe
