Gourd Birdhouse

Last fall I purchased a gourd for the purpose of making a birdhouse. I dried it all winter in a dry, cool spot, I chose my garage.  I finally got around to drilling a hole for the opening and and painting it.  Be sure it is totally dry--shake it to hear the seeds jingling.

I sprayed the gourd  with a primer first and then used a latex outdoor enamel spray paint to cover.

I hung it on our Weeping Spruce tree and I like the blue and green combination.
