Hornero

Uruguay typical birds, hornero nest
If you are roadtripping in uruguay this is a very common sight. It's the house of a bird that goes by the name Hornero (Furnarius rufus). Builds his own place, about the size of a basketball ball and seems to have a thing for telegraph posts.

As a kid I used to think that it had a complex internal rooms distribution, with a tv room (electricity and telephone wire access is not the problem ;), and a bedroom, the whole bird family thing. Dumb kid.

How nice it must be to build a house and not have to pay taxes! :)

I believe Carlos Paez Vilaro is the greatest living artist. I love his house.

I've never been to Uruguay. I was invited once, but it never worked out for me to go.

I'm a friend of lucha libre promoter Dr. Machado.

My hobby is Argentine tango.

All the best.
