Novelty Cottage Bird House, Blue

Introduce local birds to a charming and spacious new home using the Home Bazaar Novelty Cottage Bird House, Blue. The home is painted in a soft, sky blue hue, accentuated by a white imitation door and window trim. A wrap-around porch and balcony line both sides and front of the house with picket-style railings, and columns and fascia support and skirt the upper level. Round orbs adorn the kenwel posts of its handrail completing the ornamental design. While the bottom two unsealed windows are protected from the elements by the wrap-around balcony, the top two windows are sheltered by the overhang of the gabled roof above. A dormer projects out from the front of the roof with its own gabled roof and window, adding further architectural dimension to the structure. An imitation chimney matching the home projects up from one side of the roof, and a 6″ long, dog-eared plank affixed to the rear of the house can be swiveled up for placement against a wall or post. A 7″ wide and 4.25″ tall, removable panel on the rear of the home makes for easy access to the interior for cleaning, and two holes in the base allow for drainage of accumulating moisture. Due to the home’s built-in bracket, the item can be hung against a wall or post, or its generous 10.25″ wide and 7.25″ deep base adds the ability for mounting atop a post as well. Bring a new style of home into your yard and to your birds with this Blue Novelty 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.
