exquisite decorative bird houses to last a lifetime!
Let’s face it, in any market you’ll find junk and you’ll find quality… doesn’t matter what it is, from products to services… there’s good and not so good. Many bird houses out there claim to be decorative, claim to be quality, and even claim to be functional – when they’re not!
Most times we get what we pay for. So if you purchase a $10 bird house, obviously you wouldn’t expect it to be around for too many seasons. These copper roof decorative bird houses are guaranteed to last a lifetime! They’re hand crafted in the USA, with meticulous construction and stunning quality.
PVC/Vinyl is the main material of the house itself, but you’d never know it. Gone are the slick, plastic-looking materials of yesterday. This vinyl looks and even feels like wood! Absolutely gorgeous in any landscape, these decorative bird houses are available from small to estate sizes. The cooper roof is an option too; in a beautiful, natural patina finish, or a bright, lacquered copper that stays bright and shiny for several years. It will eventually weather, but if desired, polish may be applied to keep the shine. The larger sizes are even complete with the decorative brackets shown. The vinyl collar simply slips over any standard 4×4 post.
In single and multiple compartments, there’s a decorative birdhouse to suit many tastes, and several species of wild birds too. The tops lift off for easy cleanout, and styles come with copper portals (predator guards) or perches. If you’re looking for a truly beautiful birdhouse, with no maintenance, that will last a lifetime… theses copper vinyls are it!

bluebird houses crafted in vinyl last a lifetime!
Here in this southeastern back yard, the Bluebirds never left, they over-wintered as our accommodations provided them well through a frigid winter season. Live mealworms were (and still are) fed daily, and bird baths remained heated throughout winter months. Lots of roosting spots, including several bluebird houses helped them keep warm at night.
Although wood is always good for most bird houses, over time it tends to weather and rot… which is not so good for prospective tenants. On the other hand, vinyl houses (like the kind people live in) pretty much last forever.
There’s a new breed of bluebird houses crafted to do just that… last forever! Architectural Bluebird Houses in white vinyl are an attractive and affordable alternative if replacing old nest boxes. Since they’re hand made (in the USA) there’s always a color choice for the roof too. Exterior grade plywood is covered in a coated aluminum to provide durability beyond compare. Roofs are available in bronze (shown here), verdigris and hammered copper options. With meticulous construction, and inert materials, these vinyl bluebird houses will last a lifetime, hosting many successful broods over the years.
One other thing on bluebird houses: as a rule of thumb, houses should be placed in open areas, at least one hundred feet apart, as bluebirds are quite territorial. But if there is competition from swallows or other birds for the same house, placing another nest box about ten to fifteen feet apart will in many cases, make both parties happy!

Vinyl Immitates wood birdhouses
Durable vinyl, like the kind used in housing construction, is know to last a lifetime. It doesn’t weather, fade, warp or crack. Newer vinyl birdhouses are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, so much so that a customer from Cape May, NJ had called to tell me he’d received a wooden birdhouse instead! I was taken aback for a moment, thinking “these birdhouses only come in vinyl”. After assuring him these were not wood birdhouses, I asked him to knock on it and listen carefully. Finally he was convinced it was vinyl.
Another customer in Fayetteville, AR, told me her horror story of two large wood birdhouses she’d ordered, costing $300 each – which had not even survived the first year! She could not recall where she’d ordered them and did not know the manufacturer. Personally…I’d be fuming! Whole-heartedly and with confidence, I assured her these birdhouses would last a lifetime. She took a chance and ordered two of the vinyl birdhouses. She was truly thrilled with her purchase and thanked me profusely! Two weeks later she bought another one of these vinyl beauties… they really do look like wood birdhouses, are worth every penny, and certainly made to last a lifetime!
