birdhive up for auction Oct 17
We were invited to participate in the Hello, Birdie Birdhouse competition and gala at Big Red Sun. Bids on our house will start at $350 – proceeds will benefit Uplift Austin – a non-profit orginization committed to engaging students through their environment.
Cottam Hargrave designed and constructed a birdhive for purple martins with maximum adaptability. Six stacked units are secured by two custom four-foot bolts that connect the top unit to the bottom unit. After unfastening the bolts, the modular units can be re-arranged so that the openings face different orientations allowing for service accessibility. The birdhive is composed of reclaimed long leaf pine and scrap mild steel. We can build a pivoting mast to meet the specific requirements of the owner.
