  I don't have any examples at the moment, but since he likes cute animals, a frog themed gift may be a good choice. Not only are they cute, but frogs are also considered to be good luck -- which could be a lucky charm for both him and your relationship!

This scarf is super cute and comes in many colors. It could be a nice winter accessory.
Bird Scarf

Also this cuckoo bird key holder might be a cute stocking stuffer for her. I’m always losing my keys and having a place to hang them is super convenient.

Bird Key Holder

Thank you for the contest and good luck with your shopping! :)

I had something similar happen to me a couple years back the spring after I bought my house. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the hell this vibration sound was coming from my roof in the mornings until one day I saw the tail of a Northern Flicker hanging down from my gutter where the sound was emanating from. I love birds but this was waking me up at the crack of dawn so obviously I wanted to find a solution that would keep us both happy. As someone else has pointed out, this is how woodpeckers attract mates and, if successful, will return to the same location year after year. There are a few possible reasons why they are making holes in your house, drumming being one. If this is what is happening to your house (and it isn't from trying to find insects), installing a bird house for them should do the trick.

You'll need to figure out the species of woodpecker to ensure the box is the correct dimensions and the entrance hole is the correct size otherwise they are unlikely to use it (also follow the directions for how much sawdust to put in there for them to nest with and which direction to hang). For reference, this is what I bought for the Northern Flickers in my neighborhood. I installed it on the south-facing side of my house close to where the drumming spot was about 10' above the ground, also making sure squirrels couldn't get access. Not only did this immediately stop the drumming, a mating pair moved in just a short time later!

Hope this was helpful and you are able to peacefully resolve your situation. Thank you for asking first before going the trap/kill route; it saddens me how many replies were advocating harming a poor little bird just trying to get some action.

Don't know her age or living space but this in a garden would be cute. Or, garden 2.

Also try here. They have a lot of kitschy stuff that leans toward sentimentality. Bitches love sentimentality.

Do you know any origami or have any crafty friends? Origami wall art is always impressive.

Good luck!

GREEN ME

My Spy Birdhouse on my Hobbies list. A nice little home for the birbs and my kiddo can have fun watching and learning about our feathered friends too. I also have bird seed on that same list because I like to feed the little cuties.

Thanks for the contest!

This year, I want to find joy in all the little things, and this bird house would be such a nice addition to my house, so I can watch the little bird families. I also want to get into more hobbies this year, such as painting and caring for plants.

Happy New Year everyone!

The Morning

 

After several "snooze" sessions, my mind slowly surfaces from the deep abyss we call sleep. Despite a whimpering, whiny little voice in the back of my head, I know I can't stay in bed. I get up, stretch my sleep-tangled limbs and hop into the shower, lazily humming a random string of out-of-tune notes as I scrub off the remnants of the previous day.

 

All showered and smartly dressed, I snag a couple bagged up pieces of last night's pizza from the refrigerator for my lunch, grab my bag and liberate my keys from their awesome little home on the wall next to the front door. I lock the front door and clamber into my car headed for work.

 

Still needing to recover from the previous nights bout of vigorous dreaming, I decide I have enough time to stop at the convenience store along the way and grab an energy drink before resuming my half hour commute into the office, where I now sit sipping on my drink and writing this mind-numbing recount of a morning that will be forgotten come lunch time.

 

My thoughts and feelings this morning so far have alternated between elation that my pending tax return will pay off one of my debts, (yay no more credit card balance!) and exhausted lamentations about the unfairness of being forced out of bed so early to go to work. I'm tempted to nap in my chair right here. I could easily accomplish it, but that's not the sort of worker I am dammit!

 

QOTD, as with many of you, has to do with money. I wish I had learned how to better budget, save, and keep track of my bills. If I had known that, I likely wouldn't be in as much debt as I am now.

These photos consist of sporadic progress photos over the last 2 weeks or so. As you can see from the inside, many a creature have endeavored to call the My Spy Birdhouse home. Will this be a different story?

What's your budget?

I'm saving up for this and they also do a 4 bird version. My hens freerange all the time so I wish I could just buy the coop without the aviary.

This Lenham is a gorgeous coop and had nest box shutters to stop your hens roosting in the nest boxes at night.

This is the first chicken coop I bought. But I modified it so the roost bars were higher than the nest boxes. I also have to keep painting it every year otherwise I noticed that water can still penetrate and seep through the roof when it rains consistently for long periods of time.

This is how I converted the perches.

Could you make something like this. An orb to graft moss (i.e flame or christmas).

You don't even need a lot of space. Solitary bee houses take up a tiny amount of space. In fact native bees are more important for pollination than honey bees.

Wooden Sparrow (birdhouse) on Amazon!

That was the idea, but the flicker ended up nesting in a tall tree last year, so only a screech owl and squirrel have lived there so far. This is the house, but the slate plate doesn't keep out squirrels.

I mean, it is technically a two story house...

I use this one! so cute.http://smile.amazon.com/Birdhouse-Key-Ring-Brown-Yellow/dp/B007CKHBM6/ref=pd_bxgy_201_img_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0V81ZM6AAQNMEEGQW05V
