An Edible Birdhouse

**WARNING:  The following post may have graphic displays of cuteness.**

While visiting my in-laws and other relatives this holiday, we got to see an adorable edible birdhouse that my mother-in-law got for Christmas.


It is both cute and functional - after the birds eat all of the birdseed off of it, it can be used as an actual birdhouse.


According to my mother-in-law, a lot of birds had come and picked off many of their favorite seeds.  But by the time we got there, we found that a little squatter had decided to claim it for his own.

(Hey, you were warned..)

What a great little house to take shelter in during a light snow!
And you don't even have to leave the house to get a good meal...


...though you might have to streeetch a little...


Okay, you might have to get out of the house for the really good stuff.


Back off, this is my house now!


The aftermath:


Well, the critters definitely enjoyed it!

Something like this would look so cute in the Red House Garden, don't you think?
