    So wonderful to see you make these beautiful creations for our magnificent feathery friends! Thank you John!
    I'm curious, do certain species have their preferences when it comes to choosing a house type or size? Do species stick together or can different species like happily in neighbouring rooms in the same house?
    I do have compassion for your health condition. If I may offer you some of my thoughts on the matter in the hope they might resonate with you and perhaps reduce your suffering to some degree...
    To put it simply, the human body has two main plumbing systems. The blood is the kitchen and delivers (pipes) fuel to our cells using the heart as a pump. The lymphatic system is the body's sewer system but isn't pressurized like the blood, it relies on the body's motion to move the fluid filled superhighway (lipid/fat based, so flows more easily when warm) of awesome specialized cells that deal with clean-up duties and invaders (your immune system) cell waste is then sent to the filtering and elimination organs.
    Your lymphatic system is likely very backed up and therefore overly acidic (most cell waste is acidic in nature), as a result your body has systemic inflammation or what some white coats like to label 'fm'. With the SAD (Standard American Diet) this is a very common but COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE situation today with nothing but some manageable diet and lifestyle changes (gulp!). No pill popping necessary. Time to call the plumbers in!
    Alkalize your diet as much as possible. Just research acidic and alkaline foods and eat more of the alkaline variety whilst dropping as much of the acidic foods you can. Fruits, fruit and more fruit! Most of what we eat is acid-ash based so this change can be a hurdle for some. Excess ENERGY in a HYDRATED, ALKALINE environment and the body can and WILL heal ANYTHING.
    Some people have mentioned carnivore/keto and yes this can help in the short term due to the extra fat intake that helps quench the acidity of the lymphatic system and can beef up the fat flowing along those highways! Long term carnivores can develop other issues and complications so be very mindful of that going forward. If you're just adding fat to the system but not eliminating the waste efficiently that can lead to issues. Protein is also acidic in nature so reducing your protein intake (from all sources) can offer relief from inflammation. Fun fact - we eat WAY more protein than our bodies can effectively process and make use of, so cut out some of that burden. Besides our bodies MAKE proteins from the amino acids found in fruit for example. We have to break down animal protein FIRST before we can do anything with it.
    Balance is the key. Being congruent with your beliefs about what is good for you to eat and eating those things is also key (we all deep down know what we SHOULD be eating instead of what we DO eat!) so just HONOUR that inner knowing really! Be HONEST with yourself!
    Also look up lymphatic drainage exercises here on youtube and make them part of your daily routine. Take warm baths with Epsom salts regularly (and take saunas if possible) to warm up those fat-filled fluid superhighways and get those lanes fast-flowing again. Simply bouncing on a rebounder (mini trampoline) can do wonders to kick start that lymphatic system. Keep moving that body in whatever way excites you! One more thing, sometimes rather than distract ourselves from the pain and plough on with gritted teeth through life. It pays to stop and look the pain in the face and ask it WHAT it is trying to bring to your attention. Pain doesn't happen TO us, it happens FOR us!There is ALWAYS a reason why it SERVES us to have the pain.
    ENERGY goes where ATTENTION flows, pain is bringing your attention to a part of your body that needs that energy!! Granted this can be overwhelming when your condition is systemic (everywhere) in the body and the pain is all over!
    Look up Robert Morse ND for a REAL insight into how to get your body healing naturally through food and diet.
    The Encyclopedia of Ailments and Diseases by Jacques Martel is a wonderful book to have around too.
    I wish you a swift, fun and rewarding journey back to full and vibrant health John. Blessings.

    Here in North Carolina the squirrels would have a field day with these birdhouses. We have to reinforce the entrance holes with large galvanized washers to stop them from chewing their way in. I have seen the damage to my own houses from them. If they cannot get in that way they are very content to just gnaw off the perches and also the overhang or anything else in their path.
    The houses are extraordinary, no doubt but the squirrels are an issue that has to be considered.
    Perhaps his are reinforced or there are less or no squirres where these houses are installed.

    Love them, but the issue that I see having so much nest in the same area, is that most bird would have to compete for food with all their neighbors. Which would be crazy.
    I can not imagine these houses staying at higher than 10% of capacity, or maybe birds move out anyway but later they fund out that there is no much food, unless that guy spend a lot on bird food.

      ​@@cranbrook2That is a bit of a strange wording considering birds don't _live_ in houses/nesting boxes, they only have their chicks in them once or twice a year.

      @@cranbrook2 is there no way to invite bigger birds while kicking out squirrels? Or I suppose maybe there are houses designed per animal?

    Why was there not a lot of birds around the houses….

      I have all kinds of videos of the birds in their houses , mating on them and making nest . The birds wont stick around when there are people near them or a drone flying around them.
