Three Birdhouses And How Do You Look At Them ??


Three pictures of three different designed birdhouses in Sarawak.
If you are the local council what is your judgement on how these BHs helps to beautify your major towns.
Two of the buildings are massive. They are much larger then any bungalows nearby. Taller then 5 stories but no windows or perhaps pattern to camouflage with the surroundings.
They were not painted and how do you think the local council will act?
Frankly the first picture looks more like and unfinished building with those window covered with bricks without any cement plaster.
The iron reinforced rods jutting out of the building and it looks very sore to the eyes.
The second picture is like a cement block. No windows, no paint and only those ventilation holes.
Can this blend with the surrounding? Will you have a unit in your housing area or town?
The bottom picture is located in a town and was said to be heavily populated with those swiftlets.
The owner have been harvesting about 15 to 20 kilograms a month but they are not bothered with the general external looks of the building.
Should have taken some initiative to at least pain the external walls to make it more environmentally friendly.



Will these odd looking buildings will be accepted by the local councils?
If you think the answer is yes then go ahead and approve the building of more BHs in your town areas or residential areas.
But if you think other wise, then try to be more considerate and beautify your surroundings.
You need to have some obligation to your surrounding.
PS: The pictures used above are just for illustrations and there is no malice to any person or people who are from the area or state or country. If I have offended any person, I am sorry and please understand that the idea to put up any of these pictures are inpromto.
