The Aesthetic Value In Unique Bird Houses

By Maryanne Goff


Unique bird houses are places where these category of creatures stay. They usually are designed such that they are more elaborate or rather different from the ordinary. Usually, these may be naturally prepared by the animals themselves, or may be prepared by their owners for the tamed species.

Those made naturally are usually made by those very small species which reside in the trees. In the normal setting, such species usually use grass, thread and other lighter materials to prepare their premises. However, there are some that have invented some unique designs. These designs are those made of tougher materials such as wires. These wires are obtained from the environment, especially form human property made or light wire.

The species that construct such premises do so for very many different reasons. As compared to grass, wire makes highly fortified structures which cannot easily be damaged by agents such as wind or other organisms. As such, they last much longer and the occupants do not need to keep constructing new premises for themselves due to damages. Their children also are well protected from danger and intrusion by foreigners.

However, they also may not be as good as they appear. If the mother forgets to line their inside with grass and other insulating material, the young ones may also end up dying of cold. Besides, the material used is likely to rust. If this gets to contaminate what the species and its children feed on, they may end up dying. The skill needed in their construction also is quite involving. Damage to human property such as the washing wires must also be incurred.

The tailored premises usually are for the tamed species. Most people construct them depending on the availability of material, space and the number of the breeds that they have. These places are sectioned into various parts. Each part is occupied by a different breed of the animals. The young ones and those that are ailing are also secluded. It is in their sections that they are fed. They also sleep in different places.

This kind of arrangement is one that is considered good. This is especially because the sick are separated from those that are healthy. This ensures that there is not spread of disease amongst the breeds. The sick are also well attended to since they can be provided with food suitable for them as well as medication, without any interference with those that are healthy. The young ones also are kept off the risk of harm by the older species that may be a bit hostile.

However, maintaining such premises may be very expensive. This is because the owner must incur some extra expenses. For instance, food must be bought for the older ones and different food purchased for the younger ones. The keepers may also incur great losses especially if the animals are stolen from them. Regular maintenance of these buildings is also not at all cheap. It needs finances which may at times not be readily available, leading to strain on the owners.

Unique bird houses are common in virtually all placers. This is more especially for the domesticated varieties. The owners of these species are by day coming up with new designs of their premises. The design selected must ensure safety to the occupants too.
