And a snail' s house, would that just be 'caracol'? Or 'concha'?

Btw I have a magnificent very big 'concha' from Panamá - it was fished from the crystal blue ocean by the Kuna we were staying with and I brought it all the way home.

Caracol - Caracola -Concha are the common ones. The difference is "caracol" can refer to both, the animal and the .. shelter. Caracola and Concha only to the shelter (here we just use caracol)

Haha.. now that's ironic..

I start out asking if 'perrera' means the same as 'caseta de perro' which obviously it didn't thanx to the wonderful explanations here..
And via via we end up at 'pajarera' meaning the same as 'caseta de págaro..'

Spanish is such a wonderful and confusing language sometimes..!!

"Perrera" would be alright for a dog house, but since it also has the meanings other users have already stated here, people prefer "casa/caseta de perro".

...besides, fortunately, no one is interested in controlling the number of birds wandering free.

Not sure about that.. they've been trying to get the pidgeons on the pill here to try and get the population down.. all the tourists keep feeding them and making them fat - they can be quite a 'pest' at times..

and a pidgeon house is a palomar.
Las palomas no tienen ningun miedo. Parece increible. Los machos están siempre buscando amores con las hembras. Su bailes de cortejo son impresionantes y sus canciónes dan risa. Su guano ensucia todo. Aquí alguna gente les dan la lema ratas con alas.
