Bird House -- Guest Artist


5.6 year old charmed again.  Bird house. Complete with:

a. Bird (owl) flooring..each owl with different emotion.
b. Worm container...for eating.
c. Leaf container..so the birds have feeling of outside even when they are inside.
d. Birdseed.
e. Water
f. iPad...for extra indoor entertainment 
g.. Hole in roof so "only birds" can get in and out.
h. Shelves. 
i. Bird pictures on the wall. 

On the outside wall, was a picture of a person behind a grid, smiling. I didn't get it when she showed it to me, but she said, "See, he is happy."  Later my sister explained an earlier discussion -- when the house was being built, the issue of a bird being inside and the loss of freedom that the bird would likely not like...and was compared to a person being enclosed in a cage. So, little one "justified" the concept of a bird house by showing happy people in a cage.  Though, she did make the open roof...so the bird could come and go as it pleased.
