I had to have my back stairs re-done and reconfigured and

will have two "landings". My contractor asked me if I would like a regular finial of some sort on the one post

and a birhouse, birdfeeder, or something else on top of the other. My house is old and my gardening style is

"cottage". I'm not keen on a birdhouse or feeder as I have dogs that would create chaos for a nesting bird and I also don't want the mess that comes with residency! Any other ideas for something for a "topper" on this one post?

My contractor is a husband/wife team and she's great with details and such...I would have never thought of this!
