What is a "barn"?

A barn is a large building typically found on farms, used for storing crops, tools, and housing animals like cows, horses, or sheep. It is usually made of wood or metal and is often situated near other farm structures, such as silos or stables. Barns can vary in size and design, but they typically have wide doors for easy access and ventilation to keep the inside dry and comfortable. In addition to being used for livestock and storage, barns may also serve as spaces for working on farm equipment or as gathering places for special events.

What is a "perch"?

A "perch" refers to a raised or elevated resting place utilized by birds and certain animals. It typically consists of a horizontal branch, ledge, or platform where the creature can alight, roost, or observe its surroundings. Perches are commonly found in natural settings such as trees, where birds can find stability, balance, and a vantage point for various activities including resting, sleeping, preening their feathers, or scanning for prey. These perching spots provide birds with a secure location to take breaks, socialize, or establish territories, while also serving as convenient launch points for taking flight and navigating their environments.
