Shotgun Cottage Bird House

Bring a touch of the French Quarter to your garden with the Home Bazaar Shotgun Cottage Bird House. Beadboard siding on three sides of the house adds an architectural feel, enhanced by the pine shingles on the roof. A faux door and windows on each side of the home lend it more detail, and a purple, three dimensional fleur-de-lis rests on the door, bringing a bit of charm to the piece. The 1.25″ diameter entrance hole is perfect for small songbirds, while the generous interior provides plenty of room for an entire avian family. A mesh ladder inside the home allows nestlings to climb out easily, and a drainage hole in the base keeps the nest dry. Ventilation slots on each side of the roof, as well as the white color on the exterior, help the interior temperature stay regulated. A large cleanout panel on the back fully removes, for seasonal nest checks, and the attached hanging tab allows you to mount this home against a post or tree. Create an exciting look in your yard with this White Shotgun 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.
