Invite local birds into a bold abode with the Home Bazaar Red Crab Cottage Bird House. This house is painted a fitting red with white trim throughout for striking contrast. Its front porch is accompanied by a picket railing and the fascia above is patterned with crab motifs, which are continued onto the shutters of the windows on both sides of the home. The front door features a large, more detailed crab ornament, while the home's 1.25" entrance is adorned with a semi-circular piece of trim, adding decorative appeal to the item. A wood shingled, gable roof crowns the house, offering a natural, seaside aesthetic to the piece, while a swiveling plank affixed to the rear of the home makes for straightforward mounting to a wall or post. Two holes in the base of the structure allow for adequate drainage of any accumulating moisture, and gaps along the underside of the roof overhangs ventilate the interior, making for a comfortable roost. A 5.75" x 5" panel on the backside of the home is removable for straightforward access and cleaning, and also exposes a mesh ladder ascending to a gable loft with the entrance above the home's front porch. Offer birds a decorative statement of a home using this Red Crab Cottage Bird House.

Note: Climate and the elements will weather this house and change its appearance over time; however, weathering will add to the home's natural charm without compromising its function. Should you wish to preserve the finish (paint) on this home, 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 outdoors, the product will weather and require refinishing.
