Some call this a dove cote, others a bird house or birdfeeder… I reckon it should be called a multistorey apartment building for the feathered variety!
It’s been in the garden of a local South Australian winery for over 20 years (when I last saw it). It hasn’t changed much in that time apart from being alot dirtier, the timber is aged and the paint is discoloured. But it’s really old and a brilliant feature of the Reynella garden (which now is mostly carpark).
