Star Barn Bird House
Add a rustic and bold element to your bird sanctuary with the Home Bazaar Star Barn Bird House. This replica of the Star Barn in rural Pennsylvania offers shelter to two bird families at once, while displaying your love of architecture. White clapboard siding and gothic styled windows mimic the features on the actual barn, and a large star underneath the cross gable adds interest. Smaller star shapes rest between each window, and a large black roof completes the piece. A small layer of rock underneath the main part of the barn adds height, and evokes the stone wall found at the actual barn. A square cupola with star shaped finial tops the piece. Two 1.25″ diameter entrance holes inside star shapes lend small birds passage to the two generous apartments. A wall separates the two sides of the home, preventing territory disputes. Drainage holes on the bottom help keep nests dry and clean, and a removable back panel allows for nest checks. Ladders underneath each entrance hole offer small birds a way to reach the opening when it is time to leave the nest. The wooden construction brings a sturdy feel to the item, for use for several seasons. Mount this home on a post or pedestal with a mounting bracket (not included), for height and visibility. Bring charm and function to your yard with this Star Barn Bird House.
Note: Should you want to preserve the finish (paint) of this house, 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 outside, the product will weather and require refinishing.
