Fowl Places is regularly creating new designs and modifying existing ones. If you desire something even a bit more unique you may find a design on this web page to your liking. An example of a Custom Trademark Birdhouse is pictured above and to the right. Custom designs often include the addition of glass or porcelain insulators of higher value. The addition of a purple Whithall Tatum CD 154 insulator (pictured here - 4" tall, 3-3/4" base diameter) will increase the suggested retail price by at least $50. Other price increasing features can include extra metal work (see above), the addition of several insulators, added interesting old farm implement pieces, and/or increased overall size of the birdhouse.. |

Suite 16 Birdhouses are designed primarily for colony nesting species such as Violet-green Swallows and Martins. This particular birdhouse has been home to both Tree Swallows and Violet-green Swallows at the same time. The 16 nesting compartments individually open for inspection and cleaning (4 per side). The overall height of the photo to the right is approximately 7 feet. This roof contains over 250 individual metal tiles of copper and iron. The suggested retail pricing of these birdhouses begins at $1600. |

A Birdhouse Post can be made from the Trademark, Tall Trademark, Railroad, Asymmetric, and the Pendleton® Bobbin birdhouse designs. The two posts pictured are versions of the Trademark Design Birdhouse. This design is essentially one of the rear posts of a Birdhouse Bench. It has a placement advantage in that it comes with its own mounting platform. The lower portion of the Birdhouse Post is hollow (interior dimensions range from 4" to 5-1/2" square). To place this birdhouse in a yard first sink a partial 4 X 4 post into the ground then sleeve the Birdhouse Post over the 4 X 4. A couple of screws through the side of the Birdhouse Post and into the partial 4 X 4 will hold it securely in place. |
A closeup of the post to the left is shown below. |

The 3 Tree is a version of the Birdhouse Post - with 3 birdhouses. The doors on this version slide down and off - similar to the Hanging Hutch opening system. Overall height is 7-1/2 to 8-1/2 feet. Below is a detail of the right birdhouse roof. |
