Cottage for Starling

Well, here come the spring off-season. The most sad and my favorite time of year.
And then there is love? Dirt, alternating with icy wind and sleet. Snowmobile immobilized and Blocks still go through snowdrifts, hunting is closed. Dead time on the principle of "work-home." Melancholy and despondency. But then we come to the aid of children. One evening there was a clatter of small feet and two pairs of little eyes staring at me in the best traditions Shrekovskogo Puss in Boots.
Dad - the beginning of the elder - will soon become quite warm, the birds fly! It is necessary to build them a house.
Junior at the time, his mouth in a sweet, actively portrayed Cat.
And I thought: "Why, in fact, no!".
Every year, we have to make the medallions for hunting trophies, because the workshop will not run, because it was necessary to master the basics of carpentry, including technology "aging tree».
What is an ordinary birdhouse? Box! Yes - a useful, practical, but banal.
