Hanging Wooden Bird House with Bark Roof and Perch

This little wooden bird house is built from paulownia wood with a natural bark-style roof that gives it a cabin look among tree branches. The front has a round entrance edged with a scalloped red trim, and a short wooden perch sticks out just below it so birds have somewhere to land.

A rope loop at the top lets you hang it from a branch, hook or bracket. Pick a spot that is sheltered and steady, and make sure the rope and branch can carry the weight before you let go. The box is a single piece with nothing to assemble, so it is ready to hang as soon as it arrives.

At roughly 6.9 x 6.3 x 5.9 inches overall, it is a small box, so it suits a compact space such as a covered porch, a garden tree or a spot near an aviary. Check the size against the birds you keep and the place you plan to put it before ordering. The wood is sanded, but it is a natural material, so expect some variation in grain and bark texture from box to box.

To keep it tidy, brush out old nesting material between seasons and wipe the outside with a dry or barely damp cloth, then let it dry fully before rehanging.
