Decorative Bird Houses…More Than Looks!
It’s a boat…hanging in a tree! A boat birdhouse that’s actually home to a family of chickadees in my yard. This is a very neat little house that’s seen several years of fledglings, and received many compliments too. Decorative bird houses do so much more than just decorate the yard and look good.
This house is about seven years old, and it’s seen new nests every year. I’m not sure why, but the birds really like this one! With the vast destruction of natural habitat, it’s getting tougher for wild birds to find proper nest sites. Cavity nesting birds face stiff competition for nest boxes, so hanging birdhouses really does help them thrive.
Please help house the birds!

Unique Birdhouses in Vegetables?
In late spring some folks plant a vegetable garden, while some folks who are into backyard birding help prepare for the nesting season by furnishing wild birds with birdhouses. How about birdhouses fashioned after vegetables?
These unique birdhouses are totally functional, with proportional entrances and easy clean outs, they feature proper drainage as well. Crafted in vibrant ceramics, they make a lovely addition to any yard, as well as, a great home for cavity nesting birds! Leave birdhouses up year-round to provide roosting spots for wild birds on cold winter nights.

Blue Bird Houses…Not What You Think!
Not the bird bluebird..but the color blue bird houses! Birdhouses today come in every shape and color imaginable. Blue is my favorite color and so I’ve picked out a few great blue bird houses that I like. The first is a stained glass and copper blue birdhouse
Then there’s the hand-thrown pottery (and weatherproof stoneware) blue bottle birdhouse
So, there can be blue birdhouses, that aren’t necessarily bluebird houses. Tomayto, tomohto, ya know?
