Good Fences #110 - Every Bird Needs A Home



Welcome! - It's time to join Theresa (The Run-a-Round Ranch Report) for GOOD FENCES

One day while Coleen and I were out walking she happened to notice a fence find that I hadn't seen before.  I took a few pictures that day but didn't really like how they turned out (it was an overcast and dreary day) so I decided to walk back another day & take better pictures.

I just want to give Coleen credit for being my extra set of "eyes" because she often spots things that I might pass by and would miss out on being able to share them.

Here is her fence find:


The fence is pretty ordinary and a bit run down but the decor on it is the fun part.  Notice that window in the background...


It's a Window Box Planter.  I should go back and see if they have anything planted in it now.

The birdhouse roofs are old license plates.

The purple color here is fun.

I like the twisted wire on this one.

The Red stands out.  If you enlarge you can see the spiderwebs and the moss on the fence much better. 

Just a view going the opposite direction from the first shot.

I thought it was a fun way to dress up a plain fence and to give the little birds a nice place to make a nest. - I hope you've enjoyed seeing these Birdhouses on a Fence.

Don't forget to stop in at Theresa's blog and check out all the other Good Fences.
Have a great day.

  7. Mama used to have a few bird feeders in the backyard, but some cats started visiting our backyard and the birds stopped coming.

  12. At least they utilized a lot of things to make it most interesting. I have seen birdhouses like that, but never a window box on a fence.

  15. That is a fantastic way to brighten up a plain old fence and give the birdies some shelter options too!

  19. What a really clever idea to repurpose old license plates.
    I think it is okay not to rebuild the fence until it becomes dysfunctional - unless you have the immense pressures of some HOAs :)
    Great photos and share, Ida!
    Have a Happy Day!!
    Peace :)

  24. That's an original piece of recycling. Who needs to buy bird boxes when there's such creativity around? A nice find Ida.

  25. That is such a charming fence Ida!
    The addition of those sweet bird houses brings new life to it - how resourceful using number plates for the rooves!
    I've got a boundary fence that needs painting just now too.... maybe I could add the odd birdhouse!
    Special thanks to Colleen for her eye for detail!
