The Many Styles Of Unique Bird Houses For Sale

By Kelly Wood


It takes a little skill and determination to find truly unique bird houses for sale these days. Many suppliers have styles and shapes that will be pleasing to the eye but to be unique they must reach past pleasing. The styles that will work best are acclimated to the breeds of birds in your part of the world.

You can find select individuals that make their creations from any number of materials. They use woods that are weathered and durable. They also use natural clays and other ecologically friendly materials to keep from upsetting the delicate balance of nature. Porcelain is another avenue that is taken although you may want to display these items inside your home.

One company produces an edible model that has an assortment of different seeds affixed to the exterior of the dwelling. It is recommended that you do not put it outside until the summer months and try to protect it from rain and other harsh elements. Part of the decorative appeal comes in the form of dried flowers that are ecologically friendly.

Hand carved and burnt features that look like wizards or gnomes are also available. The mouth is open and expanded wide enough to allow entry for the birds. Figures of other animals are also made in this way. The carved faces are made to sit on a pole or porch railing while the bears and cats generally hang from a tree branch or porch eave.

Depending on the size of structure you are looking for you will find that the nesting sites can be as large as a three story house or even resemble one of the plantations from the deep south. Many birds live close together when nesting as a safety measure. Purple martins are one breed and wrens like to be in groups of five or six nests. The houses for the martins can be as tall as four or five stories and have four to six compartments on each floor.

Most of the homes come with equipment to either hang them or mount them on a pole. This is included in the price of the purchase. They are also made in such a way as to protect the birds and their chicks from cats and other predators while they inhabit the structure.

If you are a dedicated nature buff you can get these structures with a slide out panel on one side or removable roof. This will serve you well when cleaning them out in the fall. It will also allow you to install a clear glass side or video camera so you can monitor the growth and progress of your visitors.

The largest resource is the internet.
