Stoneware Cottage Birdhouse This splendid stoneware birdhouse features a tapered/conical shape that provides an enticing enhancement to any yard or garden. The 1.25" opening is ideal for a variety of nesting songbirds such as the chickadee, nuthatch, wren, warbler and tufted titmouse. An interior platform creates a flat surface for nesting while a removable top allows adequate ventilation and easy access for seasonal cleaning. Each is individually constructed by hand from clay slabs and fired to 2400-degrees in the mountains of North Carolina. Best of all, each birdhouse is unaffected by water and ice, allowing the birdhouse to remain in your garden year-round. Includes braided steel cable hanger. Choose from royal blue or butternut colors. ~ Handcrafted in the USA ~ > Why is there no perch on the birdhouse? It is recommended that perches be used only for bird feeders, not birdhouses, as the perch can provide access to potential predators. Birds can easily enter without the use of a perch. size: approx. 14.0" high x 9.5" wide weight: approx. 4.0 lbs materials: Stoneware Pottery
