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!

Chicago Jesuit Academy

John has been a long-time supporter of Chicago Jesuit Academy, an innovative school on Chicago's west side that's making a huge positive impact in its community.  Last week, he sent them a personalized birdhouse which was happily received.


The agriculture club photographed it this morning, hanging near their chicken coop and community garden.

Bora Bora and Mo'orea (French Polynesia)

Beautiful pictures from Bora Bora (in French Polynesia): 




Bloody Mary's was a fictitious bar from the movie "South Pacific."  Some smart person decided to open it for real as a tourist attraction. 

Marie & Ron also took the birdhouse diving in Mo'orea, also in French Polynesia:

The area where they were diving is called "The Ledges"
