    Opinions for possible Category - Large Bird Houses

    I noticed in the Unique Birdhouse group, that "free Standing houses, Bat Houses, Duck, Goose  and Swan Houses"  including Pigeonniers are not allowed, and are denied.

    I have ran across some very large and ornate Pigeonniers or DoveCotes. Pigeonniers are quite prevalent here. Seems different types of large bird houses are located in different parts of the world, for either food , down and fertilizer.

     Even one listed on the National Register of Historic Places (http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM5FDE_Barthel_Pigeonnier_Baton_Rouge_LA)

    I was wondering if a Category for Waymarking these larger bird houses, such as Pigeonniers, Bat Houses, or Fowl houses would be of interest. I found that Bats houses can be quite different (http://www.floridabats.org/CBH_Articles/UF-BatHouse.htm) Maybe a Chicken Coup located at a Museum complex that has some sort of historic significance?

    I was just thinking to "fill in a gap" that the unique Birdhouse group seems to have.

    Maybe they can be put in already exsisting category... If so, please let me know.

    I don't see where it says no "free standing houses", in fact the front page picture shows one.

    But I do agree that there could be a place for other types of houses like you're describing, to fill the gap.

    If it's historic birdhouses or "Pigeonniers" as you call them it could be  a separate Category.
     Is it "for the  birds" or fowl (poultry) ?
    - Bat-houses  shouldn't be lumped in with yours tho.  Besides that Category was turned down last year (don't know why) Sad      Bats  are the only mammals that can fly.Ick!
