Yep, I enjoy watching birds...we get bats here as well, but don't think I want to put up houses. Years ago, Cindy was brushing one of the cats on the patio. I told her to toss the fur on the lawn, since I was going to mow, and the mower bag would pick it up. HA! Not a chance...with a skill an aircraft carrier pilot would admire, swallows began swooping down over the lawn, would pick the fur up in their beaks, and into the bird house it went. I guess we're easily amused. We enjoy sitting on the patio, binoculars in hand, watching the show that goes on in the swallow houses....I have 3 of them hooked to lengths of conduit that I extended out past the roofline of the woodshed.
