Bring to your yard or garden a touch of west coast village living using the Home Bazaar Red Capitola Cottage Bird House. This bird house evokes Capitola architecture and is painted red and trimmed throughout with white and yellow. Its wood shingled roof complements the color scheme of the house, creating the aesthetic of life on the California coast, and the front of the home features a porch adorned with intricate trim. A dark blue imitation door and windows outlined in yellow and white sit within the porch, and similar windows decorate both sides of the house. A gable above the porch features horizontal lines and wave patterns and holds a 1.25" diameter bird entrance. A dog-eared plank is affixed to the back of the house for swiveling into place and mounting to a wall or post, though the structure can also be mounted atop a post with the use of an appropriate mounting plate (not included). A 5.75" x 4.375" panel on the rear of the house is removable for routine cleaning, while a mesh ladder inside the home ascends the front wall to the entrance for easy nestling climbing. Gaps between the sidewalls and the roof allow plentiful ventilation, and a hole in the center of the base creates adequate drainage of accumulating moisture, making for a safe and comfortable roost. Offer local birds a west coast home with this Red Capitola 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.
