What Makes Our Handcarved Gourd Bird House Special?

This hand-carved gourd bird house stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship and the beauty of natural materials. It is designed to attract small birds such as wrens, nuthatches, and bluebirds.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Each bird house is meticulously crafted from natural gourds, carefully carved by artisans in Peru. The gourd is then decorated with vibrant designs showcasing various bird species, such as cardinals and cedar waxwings. A drainage hole at the bottom ensures that the interior remains dry and comfortable for birds, while a protective varnish helps preserve the birdhouse against the elements.

The hand-carving process ensures that each gourd bird house is one of a kind, meaning no two are identical. The bird house also includes a metal hanger and vegetable fiber cord for easy hanging.
