Vacancies available, no waiting!

Family-run avian housing complex in Seattle seeks tenants. Multiple units available:

• Penthouse Family Unit #1: Long-established bird's nest in the rafters of carport, which last year was host to two broods of baby robins. Family-friendly landlords made not one single complaint to these tenants even as their household waste covered the back of our car for months on end!
• Economy Family Unit #2: Also under shelter of the carport is a lovely nest built last year by an enterprising wren inside my husband's bike helmet. He has generously given it up for long-term occupancy, and landlord improvements include the addition of another old bike helmet to serve as a roof. Snug and charming!
• Luxury Unit #3: Spiffy bird house with vaulted ceilings, left behind by the previous owners of our house. Now sporting a fresh coat of cheerful yellow paint and lovingly placed on a choice fence post beneath a cherry tree.

No takers on any of these fabulous accomodations this year, and the proprietors are feeling a little insulted! The neighborhood is good - vegetable garden and cherry trees nearby, along with rain barrels suitable for bathing. Admittedly, the Luxury Unit is in the yard where two noisy dogs hang out, but they've never shown any interest whatsoever in birds - other than water fowl, which after all they are genetically programmed to chase and bring back to us. So, non-waterfowl need not be concerned. The carport with the two Family Units is, granted, the official neighborhood venue for cats in heat to howl all night long amidst sparring suitors (boy, do the dogs ever love that) - but this didn't stop last year's tenants from hatching and raising three healthy broods! Reasonable rent, no damage deposit required.
