A Really Small World of Birdhouse Kits
This one’s called The Right, a Box for Birds design aptly named after Frank Lloyd Wright’s mod style of architecture.Extremely bird-friendly, and fun, puzzle-like birdhouse kits to assemble, several went out the door as holiday gifts this month. One in particular had a pretty cool story behind it, and the card was signed “Frank Lloyd Wren”. The sender thought it fun to keep the recipient guessing!
So when we received a letter with Frank Lloyd Wren in the subject line, it rang a bell, and raised an eyebrow. Read on if you have any doubt in small world syndrome:
Turns out that a friend halfway across the country happens to be a mutual friend of one of those recipients. While visiting over the holidays and celebrating good cheer, the topic of birdhouses came up. When my friend mentioned our business, the recipient exclaimed “that’s where the birdhouse kit was from!”
Turns out our friend is a good friend of the recipient of Frank Lloyd Wren! So, to John and Deb: May your new
birdhouses host many successful broods over the years! And to the sender, Deb’s sister in TX… great choice! By the way, the Cedar Side Entry Bird House should also entice a nuthatch or two to your place in spring! -
Totally Fun Birdhouse Kits for Ages 5 through 105
Stumped for a fun and thoughtful gift for a nature buff on your list? Consider something totally cool and totally green like birdhouse kits.These innovative designs arrive in flat packaging, and since they’re like puzzles to assemble, there’s no nails, screws or tools required. It makes perfect sense… for feathered friends too!
Due to a decreasing supply of natural nesting cavities, these fun little homes are a welcome site for small songbirds – hey, because real estate’s tough out there!
Providing a proper nest site for spring, the Tweet Home in recycled plastic makes for an excellent roost during the off-season too. In the most vibrant colors and two designs, there’s six styles from which to choose. You may even need the instructions for this one 🙂
The Totally Green Birdhouse Kit (yes, that’s really the name) is crafted from recycled paper that’s laminated into strong board. This one allows for unlimited creativity too! Its weather-proof design is biodegradable after the nesting season, and the packaging is filled with photos and useful tips on cavity-dwelling birds. Paint it any way your heart desires because birds certainly won’t mind a colorful home!

Happy Thanksgiving and a Box for Birds
Though we all may seem to want more, most of us really have what we need. After viewing images of Hurricane Sandy, speaking with friends affected, and really taking it all in… I’m very thankful this year!A roof above, with heat that works. A hot shower with a killer Speakman shower head. A comfortable bed, food in the fridge, pets at home where they belong. Birds to feed in the yard everyday (especially the bluebirds) pesky squirrels, even weeds that need pulling. A business that’s survived some rough times, and oh, the repeat customers are the best, really thankful for them! Distributors who are willing to go out on a limb (thanks Mel and Goldcrest), vendors who have faith, artists who craft such wonderful work.
These cool birdhouse kits make for an awesome nesting site for the Eastern Bluebird and Carolina Wren. The houses are assembled like a puzzle and are great projects for ages 4 to 104! In modern or traditional styles, check them out in action below:
