Description
Turtle Cottage Bird House
House a local bird family in a decorative shell-ter using the Home Bazaar Turtle Cottage Bird House. This house is painted a marshy green hue with white trim throughout for striking contrast. Its front porch is accompanied by a picket railing and the fascia above is patterned with sea turtle motifs, which are continued onto the shutters of the windows on both sides of the home. The front door features a larger matching sea turtle ornament, while the home’s 1.25″ entrance is great for small birds passing through and is encircled by white trim. A wood shingled, gable roof crowns the house, offering a natural aesthetic to the piece, while a small metal hanger is affixed to the backside of the structure for straightforward mounting to a wall or post. A hole in its base allows for adequate drainage of any accumulating moisture, and gaps along the underside of the roof overhangs ventilate the interior, making for a comfortable roost. A 4.25″ x 4″ panel underneath the hanger is removable for easy access and cleaning. Show your affection for sea turtles and other reptiles by hanging this Turtle 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.
