Invite adorable songbirds to an extended stay in your garden with the Home Bazaar Guest Cottage Stone Bird House. The classic, rectangular shape, deeply textured exterior, and realistic adornments will certainly make this home a favorite garden accent for both you and your feathered friends. A 7.25" square base sports a bright red paint, while providing a stable platform for the shelter. This tall, wooden frame offers a classic roosting spot to chickadees, wrens, or other small birds, who can easily enter via the 1.125" diameter opening at the top. Natural stones in a variety of shapes and tones cover the wooden frame, bringing a storybook effect to the home. A miniature rocking chair, flower pot, and faux windows and door with trim further this charming effect, completed by a pitched, shingled roof with dormer. This not only keeps water out of the nesting compartment; gaps beneath two sides also ventilate the nest. A hinged back flap opens for nest checks, and a hole on the bottom platform enables captured water to drain. Hang this shelter from a bracket using its attached, fabric cord, or affix a mounting plate (not included) to the base for pole or post mounting. Its wood and stone construction brings the beauty of nature into focus, while the red and white tones brighten any garden. Create a welcoming look in your landscaping with this Guest Cottage Stone Bird House.

Note: Climate and the elements will weather the house and change its appearance over time; however, weathering will add to the house's natural charm without compromising its function. Should you want to preserve the finish (paint) of this item, you should select a polyurethane product that is recommended for marine use (UV Rated) that will not turn the white paint yellow. You should expect that once left outside, the home will weather and require refinishing.
