so i have my little shed, it already has two branchmade bird houses.
what else can i make, and hide,... eg, put on my fences at each side... sit in the middle of a plot on a stake... VERY imaginative,,,,

no bees thou, cos my mom is allergic and wont help me dig stuff if i have them..
7 dogs, 4cats, 4hens,2bunnies,1pony and a parrot... AND half a plot.. hehe i think I HAVE LOST the plot..

I reckon it has to be water-based....  :)
Something, anything, with water that birds and other wildlife can use.
It can be squirty, reflectively, bubbly, waterfally, gluggy, trickly, misty, lazered, blazered, drip, drop, sucked up in a sponge.... Wet.
Waddya-say?  :blush:

How about a ladybird house?

Easy to make/cheap to buy and great for controlling aphids!

Aphids are greenfly.

Going back to what NigelB says - water! How about a bird bath?

What about a log pile? It will provide a great habitat for bugs and crawly things and animals will visit it for food.
