    Fun, Functional, and Very Unique Birdhouses!

    Looking for a great gift for the nature-lover or birding enthusiast on your list?  You can find truly unique birdhouses that are totally functional and fun!  They make perfect, and lasting gifts, that are sure to get used too.  The Fat Cat, and Looney Bird above are sure to get a rise out of their recipients!

    Many cavity-dwelling birds like wrens, chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, bluebirds, and others face competition for nesting sites…the real estate market is tough!  Demand is much greater than supply in most areas. Providing proper nesting sites with bird houses, really helps many species of wild birds to flourish and thrive.  Please help house the birds!

    wild bird feeders

    Ever had a bird feeder with a name?  Meet Hot Lips Hilda!  This weather-proof stoneware birdfeeder is totally for the birds!  Her beehive hairdo and cat eye glasses are reminiscent of the 1950’s diner waitress.  A rubber stopper on th bottom provides for filling and cleaning, and she holds about 2 lbs. of  seed.  We’ve fornd that sunflower seed works best, and especially like the “hearts and chips” as it leaves no mess below bird feeders.

    Hand made in the USA, the Hot Lips Hildas are vibrant, fabulous wild bird feeders that make great gifts for the naure lover on your list, or that one person who “has everything”

    A Good Wood Birdhouse Destroyed By Squirrels

    July 10, 2009 /

    wood birdhouseI’ve been on a rant about the squirrels in our yard lately…and here is just another statistic!  At one time this was a really nice wood birdhouse, but it’s now become a squirrel box.  And that is ok, because squirrels need a place to roost on cold winter nights too , but I was pretty sure they nested in trees.  Now I do recall seeing Squirrel houses, so I wonder how many broods may have been born and raised in this multi-compartment house?

    Now that there are some 25 to 40 squirrels invading the yard, and it’s getting totally out of control…we’re not so sure about the cute little bushy-tailed critters.  We have lots of bird feeders, but we have even more squirrel baffles!

    Oh yes, and the chicken wire adorning the 5-inch hole in the screen porch looks just lovely too…Thanks a lot Mr. Squirrel!wood birdhouse
