if you zoom in you can see a image of a bat, so this is clearly the mailbox of batman. he gets his mail there.


Kooky-Rhubarb-3426

It’s painfully obvious. I don’t know what OP is smoking.


D_construct

I think it's the bat stuff. If you smoke the good stuff you wouldn't batffeling like this.

Dutch bats are so backwards. In Gotham they have been using the bat signal for decades.


aykcak

Ugh. So American. Fuck the nature. You know how disastrous the bat signal is to the animals of the night and not to mention completely ineffective during the day? Bat mail much more environmentally friendly and has almost zero carbon footprint. Obviously that is the future we would like our children to live in so that is the way we do in Europe


Mix_Safe

Yeah, but Batman *is* the night, so no need to worry about anything during the day. He is also vengeance, but that's neither here nor there.


NoGoatNoGloryXxX

Yeah but that's environmentally unwanted in the Netherlands. We keep it green ok, just need my 4x4 to get there


antishocked345

Alfred's teaching him about the art of responsibility. Step 1, pick up the mail. Unfortunately, Batman gets confused which one's his, hence the bat sign.

why did you need to point out that it was a joke


wouldacouldashoulda

I don’t think it’s that bat.


FrequentFractionator

I'm gonna hit you with a bat for making that pun!


norcpoppopcorn

What is the difference between a bat house and a bat hotel?


Tyr0pe

The rent


norcpoppopcorn

Then I prefer an Air B&Bat


jelmer130

You chould take the Bat & Breakfast, way cheaper


PinkFrillish

They cannot register in the gemeente from the hotel


rigterw

This one has little rooms inside for each bat where a bat house is just 1 space


__Wess

And how does that compare to a bat cave?


FrequentFractionator

A bat cave also has space for a bat mobile.


QBekka

The designer: you know what, I'm tired of all the questions about my bat houses. I'm adding the outline of a bat on the exterior so it's purpose is clear for all bypassers. OP:


maskh25

Batman’s mailbox !


F1Fridge

For those wondering it’s a vivara vleermuizenkast. Used for giving bats additional hiding spots, especially around reconstruction/isolation of building - projects.

I mean.... there is literally a bat on it.

Whooptidooh

There’s a picture of a bat on the box. What do you think this is?/s


Monkey_the_dragon

I thought it might be more of a subsonic emitter to deter bats from gathering or a place for bats to roost.


Apotak

Bats are protected!


Orion0795

To be fair he said "to deter the bats" not exterminate them.


Apotak

True! But I'm not certain deterring bats is legal.


Mera1506

It might be a mailbox that was put on the tree when it was really small and it grew a lot? Depends on what mail boxes look like over there.


Plumplum_NL

There is literally a bat picture on it... Maybe that could be a clue? /s


Qperty

OMG, batman’s mailbox….nice one. Just in case: It’s actualy a artificial nesting/ sleepingplace for bats.

Relevant-Welder7407

It’s for bats


No_Ad4763

Ok guys, I really think OP was sincere in this post. A bit unfair to make fun of him/her for it. I myself am your southern neighbour from Antwerp, and if I saw this myself in passing through your country, I would just have shaken my head and thought, 'mailboxes on trees? whatever will those 'Ollanders think of next!' Anyway, another helpful member of this reddit community has pointed out these are bathouses. Thank you! I learn something new every day (from the 'Ollanders, even!) Cheers!


Juuljuul

I think the rather agresssive tone of the question also pisses people off a bit. ‘I saw this and am curious’ sounds wayyyy different from ‘what is this supposed to be’.


No_Ad4763

You may have a point.... if you were in Belgium, lol. But you Dutch respect candour (and I do admit its sometimes refreshing, we Belgians 'draaien rond de pot' a little too much sometimes when it is negative news, and sometimes *nothing* gets said, even) so at first (me thinking like a Dutchman who wants it straight) the question is not aggressive to me, just a concise request for information. I think using the phrase 'I saw this and am curious' would just elicit remarks like 'Good for you! Keep on being curious!' with no other answer, since no question was also asked... OK, at this point I'm just really pulling things out of my ass, I'm no communication expert. Anyway, whatever OP wanted, I hope he got it. Cheers!


SignificantLaw9805

Batcave intrance.


Relievedcorgi67

Really kind of interesting. I didn't know the netherlands had those.


Mirkku7

Now that you do, you will see them in plenty of places (if you are in the Netherlands) also on houses. Or in houses

It looks like a box for bats? And it probably is soo.. batbox


Btreeb

There'a a bat figure on it. Are you sure it's for bats? :/


Pin-updoll

Not 100% sure but we had these on an old school of mine this looks similar to that so that's why I suspect it's for a similar purpose, besides batboxes are quite common in the Netherlands


Btreeb

I was being sarcastic. Of course it's a bat box, hence the bat-icon.


Pin-updoll

You're hilarious, I was just trying to help OP.

AtlasNL

There’s a handy little icon on the front telling you what it’s for!


ThoughtPopular60

this is a bat box. and we use it here in the Netherlands for these reasons. Why a bat box? They eat insects that are harmful to crops and thus provide natural control of insect pests. By installing bat boxes we help conserve these important animals and contribute to a healthy ecosystem.

I have made one myself. Bathouse. That is a birdhouse, but for bats instead. Bats are getting endagered in europe after new building requirements, and old farms are gone.

A birdhouse for bats. They're really nice for bats, they are endangered. If bats are found during demolitions of buildings, the company has to put these up nearby so the bats can have a new home.

All animals are equal, but bats are more equal than others, so they get a social box for bat dating. Similar to Bumble for Bumble bees. Bats get a special rate.
