Decorative Bird Houses Are A Treat To Homeowners

By Amanda Baird


People often struggle trying to find that perfect gift for the new homeowner. When you have a friend or family member who just moved into a new home or just purchased a new home, it is common to give a housewarming gift upon your first visit. People often do not think of something like this, but decorative bird houses make a very stylish and fun gift.

The bird house has certainly come a long way since they were just a wooden box on a post in the front or back yard. People today are going the extra mile to decorate their bird houses and some people you could say, are even taking it to the extreme. Making scale replicas of their own homes or of famous homes of celebrities or government officials has become quite popular also.

Although the standard birdhouse would suffice, if you took it one step further, not only would they enjoy it that much more, but they would be so excited by it that they would probably tell everyone what you got for them simply out of joy and excitement. It is unique and something that brings joy all year round.

The various ways they are built is fascinating as well. Some people scour the neighborhood garage sales or online sales for old dollhouses that they can use as a foundation for the birdhouse. Another route is to just load up with materials at the hardware or lumber store and just build everything from a design.

If you wanted to you could get one that is designed after a famous building. You could get one that looks like the White House or even Elvis's Graceland. There are no limits to what you can get, only what your imagination allows. There are some custom online shops and craftsmen that will create them from scratch and from a design that you provide.

Using these foundations the builder can add things to it to make it fit their design a little better. When people who are really into this hobby get everything they need and have the materials to create what they have in mind, the end result can be a large house that you would think could house an eagle. But instead they just become home to multiple species or families.

The type and style that you decide upon must also fit the environment. You will not want one that might have a problem standing up to the elements such as saltwater or heavy rain. You have to remember that in most if not all cases these are made from wood. They must be treated properly with certain chemicals to protect them from the weather.

Those who take this seriously can be easily found by the fact that they will usually have multiple decorative bird houses in their front or back yards. Not that there is anything wrong with something like that, they just take such a hobby to the next level so to speak. There is no topping that.
