EMPTY NESTERS

Whenever I see a window in France decked out as this one is, I can't help but think that there are  anglo-saxon influences at play. Either renters or property owners. This sort of decoration is not typically French; nonetheless, it's sweet. If only the decorative birdhouses' openings were a bit bigger for avian ingress and egress. Photo taken on a street in Uzès.

Vocabulary
un nichoir:  a birdhouse, a nesting box
aviare:  avian
l'entrée:  ingress
la sortie:  egress
les parents esseulés:  empty nesters; parents who are left alone
