Welcome to the Project Birdhouse blog!


Welcome to the Project Birdhouse blog. Whether you came here because you know me or happened across one of my birdhouses, I hope you'll enjoy my project as much as I do.

I enjoy painting birdhouses in my spare time. I ran out of friends and family to give them to, so I decided to start sending them around the world as friends, coworkers and acquaintances took trips. They send me back pictures of the birdhouse in its new locale, and it gets posted to the Google Photos album and Instagram accounts linked below.

The birdhouses always make people smile and bring a touch of whimsy to their new home.

If you're traveling somewhere and want to bring a birdhouse with you (or would like one for your home), email me at ProjectBirdhouse@gmail.com, and I can send you a birdhouse to help expand the project.

Enjoy!

Panama Canal Cruise

Marlene and Alan took a Panama Canal cruise, with photo stops at several ports of call along the way.

We let the lovely little girl in the last two photos keep the birdhouse. It was taken in Panama City, Panama while they were celebrating Flag Day, a national holiday there. It was a day-long celebration of marching bands, and many of the locals dressed in costume. We gave the girl’s parents a copy of your blog write-up, with a few pictures from the Picasa web site. We knew that would help with communication and they would understand what we were trying to do.
