Since the dawn of time, birds have been cherishing their tradition to live their daily life as a part of nature. They lay eggs after eggs to carry the genes equipped with the art of nesting and its method. They provide a lot of hints for us, human beings, who get all bogged down in civilization.
Birds build fabulous nests to protect their precious eggs from rain, sunbeam, and predators. These nests are like our traditional homes furnished with eaves to avoid sunbeam and rain getting directly inside the rooms, and with some little ideas to make life easier. The idea of this birdhouse is based on such thoughts.
