Raindrop Bird House with Wind Sail

thingiverse

I had to tweak Scintilla's Birdhouse because I reside in the Pacific Northwest where it often gets pretty gusty and, as you may be aware, rain is a common occurrence here. The design features a compact awning above the entrance that shields birds from falling rain, while the perch and awning have a sail-like feature that can pivot the door of the house to deflect driving rain. To ensure optimal drainage, I've also drilled several holes in the bottom. I painted it black to enhance thermal storage for early spring, and positioned it under a branch that will provide shade by summer so the black color doesn't overheat my tenants. Additionally, I applied a coat of black "Flex Seal" to guarantee their comfort. I'm always eager to hear feedback on my designs to refine them for future improvements.
