Quick little trip to Northwood Lumber, Bancroft. Loaded and unloaded 3000 feet of pine. Ready to make a new batch of roofs for my birdhouses.
With this new and changing world, It is with great sadness that I announce the closure of my storefront shop in Whitby on December 31/2020. My business is going strong and expects to continue. However, I will be mainly online.
I will still be available for curbside pick up (at my home in Whitby) or drop off depending on your location. I do have a small selection on display at the Village Bake Shop in downtown Whitby. Orders can be placed there also.
I will be sorry to see my shop close. I have enjoyed my time there for almost 20 years. I have enjoyed meeting and chatting with many customers and friends. I do hope to be able to do shows again once we get back to normality. I can still be reached at buyabirdhouse@gmail.com , jimdileva@gmail.com, text or call 905 409 3018.
I would like to thank all of those who have supported my shop. I have made many friends over the years. Looking forward to seeing you all online. (or at local shows)
Please follow me on Facebook and Instagram for updates.

I like to leave my feeders out all year round and have had this one for close to 20 years.It is my old English pub, The White Hart. Sleeping quarters on one side and dining on the other.
As you can imagine, being in Canada, it has survived all kinds of weather.
And then last year a family of red squirrel’s moved in without my knowledge. As you can see those smart little buggers made themselves at home and unfortunately in a matter of months totally destroyed it.
How cozy! Bedroom one side, food the other.
I have decided to make another one. This time I will be watching!
I will post the new one in my next post.
“The Perch”
Although the perch is the hallmark of many a quaint birdhouse, birds do not need them to access the house and perch actually helps other birds or predators who may harass or sometimes kill the babies. Like these two Starlings. 
Natural cavities such as tree trunks do not have perches, so birds that use nest boxes don’t need a perch either. As a result of comments from many of my customers, I have decided that the protection of the birds using my birdhouses takes priority and my designs are no longer being created with perches. 
Great Christmas Idea!
