Bird Houses

 
Gourd Bird Houses come in many sizes to fit different species of birds. We have chosen the colors you see below for their richness and natural look. The dyes allow the natural mottling of the gourd to show through.
 
It has been said that birds prefer natural gourd bird houses over any type of manufactured housing. You can understand why when you get a look at one. They are roomy, the bottom has the natural shape of a nest, and they resemble cavities that birds have been using for thousands of years. Natural Gourds were the first bird houses.

Some birds prefer their gourds to swing freely, and others like less motion. If you find the latter is true, remove the leather lanyard supplied with the gourd bird house and replace it with a coat hanger or rigid wire. Put the wire through the holes at the top of the gourd and wrap it around the gourd a little so it won't swing as much. Then wrap the wire around the branch limiting more of the swing. Your feathered friends will be fighting over the gourd bird house in no time.
