Birdhouses

Welcome feathered friends to your garden with our unique collection of handcrafted birdhouses. From whimsical moss designs to Fair Trade recycled cotton nesters, every birdhouse is eco-friendly, thoughtfully made, and genuinely used by nesting birds — season after season.

Why the Right Birdhouse Makes All the Difference

Not all birdhouses attract birds. The entrance hole size, interior dimensions, ventilation, and placement all determine whether birds will actually nest inside. Every birdhouse in our collection is designed with real nesting biology in mind — not just aesthetics. Beautiful and functional, by design.

Birdhouse Styles We Carry

• Cedar birdhouses: Naturally rot-resistant, bird-safe, and built to last 5–10+ years outdoors. The gold standard for durability.
• Recycled cotton birdhouses: Fair Trade handcrafted from reclaimed fibers. Soft, insulating, and birds genuinely prefer them for nesting.
• Moss birdhouses: Real preserved moss over natural frames — woodland beauty that blends seamlessly into any garden.
• Cottage & decorative styles: Handcrafted statement pieces that double as garden art while providing real nesting habitat.
• Species-specific houses: Sized and designed for bluebirds, wrens, robins, starlings, and more.

How to Choose the Right Birdhouse

• Entrance hole size is critical: 1.125" for House Wrens, 1.5" for Eastern Bluebirds & Carolina Wrens, 1.5" for Robins (open-fronted)
• No perch needed: Perches actually help predators access the nest — avoid them
• Ventilation & drainage: Essential for chick survival in warm weather
• Placement: Mount 5–15 feet high, facing away from prevailing winds and direct afternoon sun
• Clean annually: Remove old nesting material each autumn to prepare for the next season

Which Birds Will Use a Birdhouse?

• Wrens: House Wrens and Carolina Wrens are the most enthusiastic birdhouse users
• Bluebirds: Eastern and Western Bluebirds readily use properly sized nest boxes
• Chickadees: Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees nest in small, snug cavities
• Robins & Swallows: Prefer open-fronted or platform-style nest boxes
• Starlings & Sparrows: Will use larger entrance holes — use species-specific sizing to attract target birds
