That's a good one, reincarnated swing shelter. Started out as a beam for a swing. A roof was added a perch fitted for a out first pets a peacock and peahen. Then a place to sit. Then a cockatiel and a peachface aviary with divisional door. Then wheatgrass growing. Then a smaller aviary which became Birdsville Station with a seat. Now a gazebo, a place to be with plant nursery.
