The Tree Climbing Monkey's Bum
Bird box design

In the UK this is the ideal week to put out a bird nesting box. As these are easily available already, mostly in the form of small boxes with a dark interior, a sloping roof and an entrance hole, the opportunity for greater invention is wide open.

Last year my proposal was for: 10 Sparrows That Live In The Moon. This year I present: The Tree Climbing Monkey's Bum.

This idea takes the form of a small replica monkey, who's flexible arms can be wrapped around a tree branch, or made to cling unto a suitable spot on a building or other structure.

The birds of course nest inside the monkey, using its curved tail as a perch, and accessing their new home by flying in and out of the hole in its bum.

note - can also be placed on a more accessible pole and used to keep bees

       It would make a very cool birdbox, although I'm a little unsure of the long-term ramifications of training birds to fly up arses.

       //ramifications of training birds to fly up arses//   

       Heh-heh, you said "ramifications."

nomocrow, Feb 15 2008
  

       There's an old saying, in response to the inane statement "I wonder." It goes like this:   

       "Don't wonder too hard, or while you're wondering you'll wake up one morning and then you'll have to wonder why the birds have built a nest in your arse."   

       I guess we've solved that question?

       This would be really uncomfortable for the birds if another, dimmer monkey decides to get a little amorous.

       We don't have any indigenous monkeys in UK, so not a problem here.

xenzag, Feb 16 2008
  

       I dunno about that. I saw a pair of gorillas in suits outside a nightclub in Brighton.

       // We don't have any indigenous monkeys in UK //   

       Try tuning in to the BBC Parliament channel. There's about 650 of the buggers on show, in their monkey house.

       I need an illustration.   

       [+] Well done, as always.

       (+), but only if it flings birds at you as you walk by it.   

       //We don't have any indigenous monkeys in UK, so not a problem here//
Maybe not, but judging by the number of green ring-necked parakeets in my garden, it is only a matter of time.
  

       C J Langenhoven, the South African writer and parliamentarian, once observed in the SA senate, "Half of the people in this room are monkeys!"   

       When challenged by the speaker to retract the statement, he responded, "Very well. Half of the people in this room are not monkeys!"
