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.
Okay, I can see that now.
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… 🤔
Yes, that would work.
