Abstract:
This disclosure relates to an easy-to-clean birdhouse which includes a body defining a chamber closed at one end by a roof and at a lower end by a floor upon which a nest can be built, the floor being normally disposed horizontally and being mounted for either pivoting or sliding or a combination of pivoting and sliding motions whereby a nest can be removed through the bottom of the birdhouse, the floor being preferably maintained in its position of use by a flexible wire passing beneath the underside of the floor and through aligned openings in the birdhouse body, and ends of the wire or rod being bent to preclude the rod from being accidentally withdrawn from its associated openings yet permitting the intentional rebending of the rod and its subsequent removal from the openings to permit the floor to open whereby nests can be removed from the birdhouse chamber.
