Sweetheart Cottage Bird House

Bring adorable style and color to your backyard bird garden with this Home Bazaar Sweetheart Cottage Bird House. Bright yellow and sage green trim against this white house adds a vivid look to your setting, while the unique shape of this item mimics an actual home. A pitched, shingled roof with a front gable furthers the realism, and faux flowers in the window boxes and on the miniature trellis lend a cheerful element. The heart shaped opening beneath the gable allows birds to enter the unit easily, and the generous, unpainted interior provides them plenty of nesting room. Drainage holes on the base of the shelter helps keep the nest dry, and a bit of screening beneath the opening aids fledglings in reaching the exit. Remove the significant back panel to check the nest or clean the interior, and attach this home to a wall or post using its included mounting tab. For a different look, place a mounting bracket (not included) on the base of the roost to display it on a pole or post. The wooden construction adds a natural hint, while the realistic accents throughout it perfectly evoke a cabin. Add a lovely bird shelter to your landscaping with this Sweetheart Cottage Bird House. 

Note: Climate and the elements will weather this home and change its appearance over time; however, weathering will add to the item’s natural charm without compromising its function. Should you want to preserve the finish (paint) of this house, you should cover it with several layers of 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 outside, the home will weather and require refinishing.
