These birdhouses were in a garden maze that we came across during our visit to City Park.
The long dangling things hanging from the one house depict the stilts that some of the houses are built on to keep them above the flood waters. (these obviously were useless when the levees broke but normally they do their job quite well)
The birdhouses are a permanent display in the park and they depict the different kind of houses found in parts of New Orleans.
You can see names on the posts of the different areas that comprise New Orleans such as Gentilly and Lower 9th.

I cant recall all of them but along Charles there are shotgun, camelback, and double gallery houses ... did you get to the Lower 9th to see how the houses there are now .. and the ones that were rebuilt for the musicians?
Yes we did Daryl. I will post some pics later on of what we saw in the Lower 9th and the upper 9th.
The architecture in New Orleans is so beautiful. No wonder my heart yearns for it continually.
They are absolutely amazing. Any bird would be pleased to live in one, I should think! I love them!
How utterly delightful!
Fascinating! Love the last one, in particular!
Too good to be bird houses. They are bird mansions.
They're just wonderful. I love the yellow one!
They're so unusual aren't they. I wonder what the birds think. Luxury I suppose.
Thanks for posting these delightful pictures.

Oh, yes, those are fabulous. Bird mansions--too right:>)
I wish I were a little bird -
And not a little mouse.
I'd live in New Orleans
Inside a little house.
Those are really cute birdhouses! Now if I could add water to one and live it it would be awesome!
The Dells are about 2 hours south of us. :) So not too far away. :)
They are really lovely!
I was just wondering - are they inhabited?
What amazing birdhouses! I do like the French influence on the architecture.
Awesome birdie mansions.
What delightful little houses - lucky birds. M xx
