I found this unique birdhouse while looking for an observatory. Located near Mounds,OK. I stoppped to take picutres and the man who lived there came out. He told me how his son made it for his mother out of cedar. The post a 10'x10' cedar post is beveled at the joint near the bottom to allow it to be lowered to clean the house. I can't imagine how much it must weigh even made of cedar. TFTC

Found this one in Maia, near Porto, in Portugal.

This is not really a bird house, but I thought it would make it into this category due to the uniqueness of it.

When Saddam husein was in charge of this area, there was a large garden with fruit trees and all sorts of exotic things. This structure was built to house bats which where used for insect control. There are not many bats left around here anymore, but there are quite a few birds living in the structure

A nice birdhouse located just outside of Fremont, Indiana. The uniqueness comes in the height of the birdhouse. It is located on a pole 20 feet in the air. No climbing predators here! TFTC

Along Welty Road near Waynesboro, PA. Looks well used by birds larger than intended. I wonder if whatever that chimney is attached to can handle heating a place with no storm doors or windows. #131

This birdhouse is located in Assen, Netherlands, capital of the province Drenthe. It is a real monument, build in the year 1840. It was part of a country estate called Port Natal, that became a psychiatric hospital for women in the 20th century. The country house was pulled down unfortunately and nowadays the Wilhelmina-hospital is located there. Only a small teahouse and this birdhouse are left from a glorious past. To know more about these monuments, visit http://www.assen.nl/smartsite4489.htm (Beilerstraat ongenummerd)I could not come very close to the birdhouse, because it is standing on private property.

We were on a trip to Chicago and in the midst of running the BoB series when we ran into the Glencoe Country Club which had about 10 of these birdhouses posted around their clubhouse. Given it was nearly 10 degrees out, these were i am sure welcome to the local birds.

I really think this birdhouse (although not huge) is EXTREMELY un-ordinary...and rather creepy to boot! The hat of this ghoulish fellow is the birdhouse built into the tree...as for the rest of him... Twisted

Definately did a double take when we drove by this one!

TFTC!

These arent the most unique bird houses, but you have to give this guy credit because he gave 132 bird a nice place to hide from the blizard we had last week and 5 inches of snow yesterday.
If there was a locationless cache for guy that plants tomatos instead of grass you could log this same place in the summer.

Seen this while enroute to another cache. This is more like a bird condo or bird city. The town is Griggsville, ILL and they make purple martin houses. This is located in the downtown and looks to be an old aerial tower that they stuffed with purple martin houses. They claim purple martins can vacuum up almost 2000 mo-skeets per night. Not only is the square have the houses, but almost every yard had a house too.

This is one of the birdhouses my husband built for me out of my Mom's old picket fence. It gives me memories of home and my Mom's love for not only birds but her old picket fence.

I hope these birdhouses are big and unordinary enough for this cache because there are 66 of them on one place in Bad Sauerbrunn in Burgenland/Austria.

This is a very unique place to say the least. The building is 2 or 3 stories high and is covered with tin and birdhouses! There has to be around 100 total. The picture doesn't do this place justice. This building is a sod and landscape company and I believe it is also a residence. Located in South Tyler,TX.

The owner breeds pigeons and has build this extraorinary birdhouse for them. It is still under contruction inside, but the next year, it should be finished, so the owner told me. Very strange, but also funny...

Personally I thought the design and the detail, the attention that went into this bird house was great. I saw it when I was quadding ( 4 wheeling ) at our summer home near Brigus Junction.

I hope it fits the catagorie...

This birdhouse has a neat history to it. My father-in-law is an avid birdwatcher who shares it with all of the grandkids. He faithfully feeds the birds throughout the winter and attracts many different species. one year he decided to build a birdhouse. Now he is an accountant and you can see that his attempt at a sparrow condominium was laughable, especially given that the holes were drilled too small and the birds couldn't get in! Several attempts later the holes are now big enough and the condo was full to capacity this spring.

This birdhouse is located in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Please no inquires about the blueprints for this masterpiece, I'm not sure it can be replicated!

We stumbled across this very large bird house today in Clearfield, Utah. It was aprox 3 foot square!

Found this birdhouse while visiting Hamilton, Ontario. It was in the front yard of a house we passed by and I thought it was pretty neat in that it also had a chair on the front porch of the birdhouse.

Been watching for an original birdhouse for some time, and when I passed this one on Riverside Road in Riverside, PA, I could not resist the urge to turn back and capture it. To a bird, it as as "large" as a Barn! Hope you like it. Keith and Susan

Wondering if this was unique enough, the Ducklings ensured me that it was..."look at all the holes on it!" You decide!

I literally came face-to-face with this one when leaving "Lost in the Dunes" cache near Lake Michigan in Long Beach, Indiana.
