Demetri Martin has a joke in his "sames and opposites" bit that goes, "A bird house is not the same as a bird home. One is much more comfortable for birds." I always thought that "bird home" was another word for "bird house." What is the difference between them?

When a bird goes into a box it’s a bird house.
But after she’s raised her little brood, from sitting on her soft eggs for weeks, keeping them warm; to feeding those screaming little ones when they demand worms every hour; to dealing with rambunctious teens who just want to hang out on the perch or fly off until all hours of the night; to that sad lonely day when her chicks have fledged and wandered off, to meet their mates and make families of their own – those memories are what make a bird house a bird home.
Seriously, it’s just a joke.
a bird house is a place to rest your talons, a home is a place that you go every day and raise your fledglings and have thanksgiving day worms.

A bird’s home can either be a bird’s nest made by the bird, or an architectural masterpiece as in a Dove Cote made by man.Equally it can be the bird’s habitat as in it’s home, or it can be an Aviary, again created by man.
a bird house is a man made place for birds to feed and land a bird home is a man made house for a bird to create a nest in with usually a small hole for entry and exit of a small room
A bird house is usually man made and a bird home is something natural like a nest.
a bird house is only a place where birds lived but a bird home is it’s family
I agree with others about when a bird enters a box, it’s a bird house. but it ain’t a home until the blinds are up, pictures are hung, and color coordinated furniture is put into place.
