If I build and give away bird houses, that could still be a hobby. I don’t follow how lack of ownership means it can’t be a hobby.

He'd think you were not only reallocating his resources (i.e. your time) without permission, but to make matters worse, you're undercutting him in the marketplace. Since why would anyone buy birdhouses from the factory if you're giving them away for free? That thinking doesn't apply to all places. For example if you work at the bird sanctuary, then they might think your birdhouses are cute. Then you can have a hobby.
