LOL – clever title, that must’ve been a full nest of birds with lots of activity. Or maybe the wind caused it to tilt? Way to have the camera ready to catch photos of it!

I wish I could take credit for the title, Shelley, but on my recent “Head Tilt” post, a fellow blogger named JP commented “Very nice! But why are these all askew, I ask you? 🙂” So I thought that was clever and told him I might plagiarize that line and he said to go ahead with any of his quips. He often responds to my posts with a quip in his comment. These two birdhouses, both off-kilter, are at Heritage Park so I wish I could have said that in the post … why are they both tilted? I’m thinking more a nest full of birds, maybe heavy birds. 🙂

Ah, it was a teamwork effort then for the title! That’s great, I love it.
I wonder if you go back there they’d be back to straightened out?

Yes, JP will get a kick out of how I used it when he catches up reading posts. I told him I had some more head tilt shots to use down the road. I actually had been intending to add these shots to that original post, but this worked out better I think. I am going to go back there and see if they straightened them out, probably in early April when I will be on the lookout for Mama Goose in the boulders by the bridge. The plein air painting group always makes Heritage Park their first outing of the year, usually the beginning of April, so I thought I’d stop and say “hi” to them at the same time. Can I then use the saying “I killed two birds with one stone?” (Hmm – maybe that’s too gory to use that line.)

Faulty construction? Lax housing codes?

I like both those options Barbara. 🙂 I couldn’t believe these bird houses, standing close to one another at Heritage Park near the Community Gardens. I am guessing all the birds and their young lived on one side of the house only? At this park, the Sparrows like to build nests in the lamp posts too.

Kind of like any port in a storm. 🙂 I will be going there in about a month to check on Mother Goose in the boulders where she likes to nest every year and try to get some pics and then I’ll check out if they fixed those two birdhouses.

I know! That was so fun Barbara. One year your mama goose was sitting on a little island and you got shots of her newborn goslings.

Yes, for sure! These two birdhouses are at Heritage Park at the Community Garden, so I am surprised the park didn’t notice it and fix it. I’ll bet the birds put their nesting materials in, then the chicks stayed on one side, rather than the wind causing an issue.

Indeed! They’re going to need some Dramamine pretty soon if they have youngsters in each of those birdhouses in 2024!

Very clever Anne! My blog post title today was not MY wittiness. A fellow blogger named JP commented with a quip on my recent “Head Tilt” post saying “Very nice! But why are these all askew, I ask you? 🙂” I told him I was going to plagiarize that line and he told me to go ahead.

Yes, they do Susan – don’t you wonder how they don’t get dizzy? If it was just one bird house it would have been odd, but both houses and this is at Heritage Park, so you’d think a park caretaker would fix it. Gave me a giggle and a fun Wordless Wednesday post.

I just replaced one of my birdhouses with a “triplex.” Now to see if anyone will take advantage of it.

They will be overwhelmed Linda and I hope they don’t all sit on one side and cause it to slant like these two birdhouses are. 🙂

I’m thinking lots of birds Terri since all that nesting material is spilling out, especially out of the one house. To see one tilted house was funny, but two, almost side by side? This is at Heritage Park, so I’m surprised one of the park caretakers didn’t notice and fix it before a youngster tumbles out.

I’d guess the people or person who built that has passed and now nobody takes care of it?

Actually these are two birdhouses at Heritage Park. They are located in the Community Gardens at the entrance, so they are pretty visible. I am surprised that the park caretakers didn’t notice it.

Ha ha – yes, you’re right about that Tom! I hope that Heritage Park fixes those birdhouses before new nests are built and plump baby birds all cram into one side of their living quarters. 🙂

Huh. Kind of not how I’d expect a birdhouse to be, but so it goes. Maybe the wood has rotted under the house and that’s why it is tilting?

I’d be worried piling too many baby birds in a nest inside that birdhouse. I agree with you Ally that both birdhouses looks like the bottom was coming apart. These are huge birdhouses outside the Community Gardens at Heritage Park, so I was surprised they had fallen into disrepair.

What happened here?!

Isn’t that strange Esther? Two birdhouses, same design/type, etc. and each leans to one side. I’m thinking all the baby birds loaded up on one side of each birdhouse and made the birdhouse pole tilt a bit. The bottom platform of each birdhouse looks a little ragged. These are birdhouses at the front gate at the Community Gardens at Heritage Park. The Community Gardens is where people can buy plots to grow flowers or fruits/veggies and also part of the area is maintained by people doing community service and the seeds/seedlings are planted, maintained and harvested for the Fish & Loaves Food Pantry. I wonder how it goes unnoticed?

It looks like the bottoms are rotting out. Won’t be long and the purple martins will be moving in!

I hope none of the chicks fall out of the bottom! I’m surprised they were not repaired – this is at the entrance to the Community Gardens at Heritage Park. It does like it would hold a lot of purple martins doesn’t it Diane?
