@kentona: The birdhouse should still be 5 and a half feet off the ground, given that trees usually keep growing their tops?

Correct
Since we're on a new page, I wanna mention my puzzle with the 3 missionaries and the 3 cannibals again so it's not forgotten.
@LightningLord2:
There's probably a simplified answer, but...

0:
MMM
CCC B
...
1: Send a missionary and a cannibal
MM M
CC B C
...
2: Send the missionary back with the boat
MMM
CC B C
...
3: Send two cannibals
MMM
B CCC
...
4: Send a cannibal back with the boat
MMM
C B CC
...
5: Send two missionaries
M MM
C B CC
...
6: Send a missionary and a cannibal back with the boat
MM M
CC B C
...
7: Send both remaining missionaries
MMM
CC B C
...
8: Send the cannibal back
MMM
CCC B
...
7: Send two cannibals
MMM
C B CC
...
8: Send a cannibal back
MMM
CC B C
...
9. Send the two remaining cannibals
MMM
B CCC

It wasn't really that hard to figure out, just tedious. In almost all situations there are only two valid moves, one of which just undoes your previous change. I suppose the big trick is that you can have as many cannibals as you want on a side if there are no missionaries on that side.

Seems all puzzles are solved and none are left, which I suppose let's me have a free turn.

Since I'm a huge fan of anagrams, here's one.

Hints:
-Each word is it's own anagram, and is inseparable from it's others.
-Words cannot be fictional, they must exist in the human language.
-'s always implicates ownership, and will be ignored in the anagrams summary, this can help out or be a hinderance.
-Solved duo-worded anagrams do actually work together, and most could be observed as titles or events with no real bearing. Use this and the hint above to aid you in your search.
-It's possible there is more than one answer. But there is only one right answer for the final hidden message.
-If the anagram contains a word that already exists, it's not a trick. Some words do have the characterization.
-Google will be largely unhelpful, I made most of these up on the spot.
-If you use scrabble power-gaming sites to find answers you are a butt.

Curasent's Oply

Fralugec Daimen

Irtabre's Fuferelfk

Cholene's Ersirpe

Lewmoce Veneluat Nactiofeben

Geloin's Sitempu

Vile Adthe

Extra Puzzle: If you've solved all the anagrams above, each solved word's first letter in order will make a hidden message.

Enjoy!
Last one has an easy solution: Live Hated

Edit:

Second one: Graceful Maiden

Second is correct, your first guess, while a right answer, isn't the answer for the final puzzle in either word.

Hint for that one:

For the Vile Adthe, I see Live Death

Second Edit: I suppose it could also be Evil Death.

EDIT: The only other one I can figure out is "Graceful Maiden" for Fralugec Daimen.
Geloin's Sitempu

Leoing's Stumpie
e-login's smutpie
GinOle's Pumsite
goNeil's piesmut

Cholene's Ersirpe
Echelon's Reprise
Chelone's Reprise.

Geloin's Sitempu
Legion's Uptimes
Legion's Impetus


Those are just guesses, by the way. They probably are not correct.

This just in, OddRabbit is pretty darn good at anagrams!

Legion's Impetus is correct.
Echelon's Reprise is correct.

@Pianotm: Evil Death is correct also. The Hint was Ed (A name of a character that spells the initials of the two words after being solved.)

Good work so far fellas. Sorry for making this so tough, if you manage to solve it I will be thoroughly impressed.
Lewmoce Veneluat Nactiofeben -> Welcome Eventual Benefaction

Curasent's Oply -> Etruscan's Ploy

Irtabre's Fuferelfk

Also, thanks for the compliment.
I can't believe it wasn't e-login's smutpie.

Arbitor's Kefuffle is correct.

Welcome Eventual Benediction is correct.

Etruscan's Ploy: Not quite! If no one objects I'll show mercy on the first word since it is incredibly Archaic. In fact most forum dictionaries don't recognize it and give it red squiggles. Up to you guys though. I could just give a hint for now...

The word is in there somewhere.

Curasent's Oply
Recusant's Ploy

Thanks for the memories, I love that game, not that battle though. It was incredibly annoying. Honestly, I wish I didn't click on the hint, but I forgot Recusant was a word that existed.

I'm bringing it back as best I can. My game Perseverance uses it probably too much.

I haven't played KH: DDD, I just can't help but be attracted to Xemnas quotes, or hell quotes from any character in that series.

Anyway yes, Recusant's Ploy is correct.

That means you guys have done all the anagrams, now let's use the first letter of every solved word to complete the hidden message.

Recusant's
Ploy
-
Graceful
Maiden
-
Arbiter's
Kerfuffle
-
Echelon's
Reprise
-
Welcome
Eventual
Benefaction
-
Legion's
Impetus
-
Evil
Death

I even foreshadowed I'd do this somewhat...

Fun Fact is I like Anagrams but only when they sound cool, or when they silently push forward my secret agendas.
The twist is that it was hardly a fuckin secret and hella over done let alone silent-- but hey here's another fun fact about myself!

I am a cunt. And a loud repetitive one at that.

Anyway, good on you fellas with your mad anagram jacking skills. You'll have to make more puzzles in my stead now as I have three days of school.

And now, a lateral thinking puzzle.

Acting on a tip from an anonymous call, the police raid a house, in order to arrest a murderer. They don't know what he looks like, but they do know his name is Carl, and he is in the raided house. The police find in one of the rooms a mechanic, a nurse, a fireman, and a truck driver. They immediately know who it is and arrest the murderer. How did they know?

He's wearing his name tag.

That could be taken as an answer seeing the fact it is lateral thinking puzzle, but it isn't the one I'm looking for.

Carl's the only man in the room?
That is, the other three are women?
