Let me play devils advocate here and wonder if bird hide overlaps with this proposal: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/hunting_blind Both the bird hide and hunting blind are places for people to hide from wild creatures. Granted one has the goal of staying hidden from wild creatures, the other calls for staying hidden until the creatures in question are close enough to be shot at... Still, both seem to be fairly similar structures, and both are typically a "leasure" activity...
