We at Thursday Doors have a loose/liberal interpretation of what constitutes a door. Of course, to be fair, to a bird, a door is really just a hole in the front of its house, so this week I’m featuring some avian doors we saw while taking a Sunday bike ride along the lake shore in Indiana Dunes State Park. More on the park at another time. Today it’s all about the doors.
To give credit where credit is due, the original bird brain behind all these doors (Door #1, Door #2, AND Door #3) is our Canadian goose, Norm. (I think he just started the challenge to feather his nest with views, but we love it anyway.) Other than that, there’s no pecking order, so let’s fly over to see the doors.
A partial view
The other part
All by myself (Thanks, Eric Carmen.)
One of our now-grown babies birds is flying home tonight, so I don’t know how much I’ll be around through the Labor Day weekend (and there might be work in there as well.) I hope all of you have a wonderful four days, whether or not you’re celebrating Labor Day!
This, that and the other thing 
Love your unusual take on Doors, Janet! Enjoy your company this weekend 🙂 🙂
Thanks and we definitely will enjoy having her home for four lovely days!
🙂 🙂
A real case of looking outside the square
🙂
hey Janet loved the bird houses waves across the miles
Thanks and waves back. 🙂
Sometimes bird houses are prettier than people houses!
But lots smaller. 🙂 These are pretty nice.
Lovely “doors” and I always enjoy your wordplay. 🙂
Thanks x 2, Marian. 🙂
Quite an unusual set of doors!
That they are. Glad you enjoyed them.

Fun!
Thanks. I’m happy to read that.

Such cute birdhouses, Janet!
Thanks, Jesh. Glad you liked them.
Hahahaha! I loved your intro for Norm. Very clever. I love bird houses and these are swell!
I won’t be online very much over Labor Day week-end either. I’m headed back over to the Eastern Sierras. It’s where I’ve been hanging out for the last couple of week-ends. I too will be behind with blogs and emails come Tuesday.
Have a wonderful long week-end with your family!
Glad you enjoyed them, Debbie. Hope you have a great time over Labor Day. I’m sure it will be lovely!!
Thanks Janet. Hope you have a lovely Holiday too. btw my friends call me Deborah. 😉
Hmmmm, I’m pretty sure autocorrect was at work here. I’ve always called you Deborah. Sigh.
🙂 I know you do. For a sec I thought you might have me confused with someone else.
The other option is that Debbie of Travel with Intent had commented right before you and I was just confused. It happens. 😂
I like the colors and shape of the last house.

Thanks, Allan. It was fun to come across them.
Some very pretty bird houses. That must have been a fun ride.
Enjoy the long weekend 🙂
It was a very good ride, Norm. I’ll enjoy my long weekend and I hope you enjoy your weekend, even if it’s not as long.
I thought I’d seen a lot of birdhouses, but I’ve never seen a buoy. That is very unique. Hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful fun and safe long weekend. 🙂
Thanks, Judy, and yours, too.
I really like the doors you’ve shared today (yesterday, I’m running late). I’m sure they all say “welcome home” when the birds approach.
I think you’re right, Dan. Glad you enjoyed them. I’m going to be running late/missing getting to lots of blog posts this long weekend with a daughter home and me joining the cycling group tonight and tomorrow. Life is good. Enjoy your weekend as well and thanks for always dropping by.
Lovely bird houses, Janet! I think you found the really fine print for TD posting that no one notices; I’m pretty sure it reads, TD has an “open door” policy! 😉
We certainly do, Gordon, and well-played!
I love birdhouses. My dad built them for a few years and they’re just happy. Birdhouses are happy 😀 Good share! Enjoy your weekend, and baby bird(s)!
Glad you liked them, Joey. So far so good on the weekend (and yes, I know it’s only Friday.). Baby bird flew in last night, later than scheduled, but safely. 😎
what a happy happy ‘neighborhood for the birds – or whatever creatures might want to claim one of those as home sweet home!
I agree. They’re so cheerful. Thanks for flying by, Lisa.

Awesome! I’m not the only one who likes to take photos of bird houses!! They’re just so damn cute 🙂
These were pretty good ones, I thought. Glad you liked them!
