Birdhouse makes me chuckle. My wife and I are big bird watchers. Neighbour is an excellent hobby wood craftsman and made an elaborate birdhouse. It was designed for Purple martins which are communal nesters. We didn’t have the heart to tell him that there aren’t any Purple martins in our part of Canada that nest in multiple dwellings like his house. We have many species that nest in boxes but all are quite territorial and won’t tolerate another bird within a few metres minimum.
We have a dozen modestly made bird houses on our property and most are busy throughout the breeding season...chickadees, woodpeckers, boreal owl, nuthatches, etc. His ‘mansion’ remains empty and for rent.
Back to the cue. A masterpiece. I wondered it was made by someone who played both Snooker and pool. That would be my thought if from here in Canada where both sports were popular and hybrid cues common.
