Ok, I hope I got the right group. :)

You'll need the birdhouse.inc file I'll post in a separate message. This file
shows basically how the include file is used. You will need to put together
the birdhouse in objects, where you can color each of the 4 pieces. If you
want, you can then cut the birdhouse code out of your file and make your own
.inc files for different color birdhouses. I recommend leaving the 'translate'
out of your .inc files so you can be able to place them anywhere you like.

Have fun! :)

// Each birdhouse is actually made up of 4 objects. I did it this way so that
// you can change the color or texture of each object. If you get one you
// particularly like, just cut it out and make an include file of it to put
// it in your own images. I'd recommend leaving out the 'translate' though so
// you can reposition your custom-color birdhouse.

union {
  object {
    Birdhouse_Roof
    pigment { color Red }
  }

  object {
    Birdhouse_House
    pigment { color Yellow }

  object {

    Birdhouse_Post

  // translate <-1, 0, 4>        // Use this to position your birdhouse.
                                 // Keep it on the ground by keeping y (middle
value) to zero
                                 // x (first value) is left/right and z (last
value) is forward/back
                                 // Note that postive numbers move z backward
into the picture.
}
