    I see that it is air conditioned but does it have central heating? :hehe:

    Something posh like that should have all the amenities :rotfl:

    Great job :gnthb:

    I could get about four nesting boxes in that roof. Perches all around, a swimming pool and a To let sign. Going "cheap"...
    bound to get some offers:gnthb::gnthb:

    Oh.. is that how perches is spelt?

    That's very nice Robert.

    My husband built one several years ago - it is still in use :hehe::hehe:
    I don't think I'll put a pic on here - it's a bit rustic but the birds don't mind.

    I had to make some repairs to the table.
    The wood I used for the roof was not seasoned very well!
    It was warped to about warp factor 6!
    So, Some new fully pressure treated tapered cut fenching timber was sourced and replacment carried out today.
    Now we have a roof that is 6" wider then the original because the food in the feeding was getting wet when it rained.
    It now looks like a Swiss chalet luxury bird table...

    What is that white stuff Rob? That little birdcage is lovely. It's my favourite bit of it.

    Not my idea.. honest..
    Its cut from an old plastic tablecloth and she seems to think It will be easier to keep the table clean?
    bless her
