This hand felted wool birdhouse can be hung outside as well as inside,
and yes, small birds like wren, chickadees, nuthatch and titmouse may go
inside! The 1.25" hole is sized for use by small birds but can be
enlarged to 1.50" to appeal to larger birds such Bluebirds and Tree
Swallows. Birds might also pull at the wool to use in making their own
nests. Hang one up and see what happens! Approximately 9" H.
The body is made of 100%
naturally water repellent wool and rarely gets wet inside. Surface
moisture from dew, rain or snow quickly dries in the open air. Wool is
also naturally dirt and mold resistant. Generally, a good brushing is
all that's needed. Otherwise, work the spot with mild soapy water, then
rinse and air-dry. Do not use a washing machine or dryer.
Will
last forever in a protected place such as a porch or inside where its
highly decorative qualities are sure to bring a smile to everyone. Use
it as a door greeter, a porch ornament, or to enliven a kitchen, bath or
bedroom! If placed in direct sun colors will begin to fade within a
month as with any dyed fabric, but the opening and body will keep its
shape in even the hardest weather.
Made with sustainably
harvested materials including wool, hemp for the hanging cord and a
bamboo perch. Hand crafted by skilled artisans working in a fair trade
production center in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Comes lightly packed with shredded recycled paper to maintain shape.
Remove when ready to use. Also includes a clean out door at the bottom.
