We ventured to the garden store to get some fall decor, and they had a wide assortment of owl merch.

This birdhouse was the first to catch my eye. It was next to some nice looking birdhouses made of different colored Trex type material. I wonder what the heat retention of Trex is compared to wood. They would certainly last longer and be easier to clean.

      It’s that extra leg bones that makes everything backwards to our legs. Awkward birdhouse anatomy doesn’t help make it any more intuitive! 😉

        If it is sitting on its butt with legs out in front, the toes would stick up. If the legs are down holding a perch, then toes would point down. Since it’s a birdhouse, it would probably be mounted on a perch-like structure, so the feet are correct. But when it’s on a shelf, it looks like the bird is sitting.

          The best solution would be to overhang the feet from the front of the shelf as if it were gripping the edge; then it would provide a better perspective.

          I guess there really is some psychology to product facing… 🤔
