Butterfly Garden Birdhouse
The original hand felted birdhouse! Made in Nepal with sustainably-harvested water-resistant sheep wool, jute hanging cord & bamboo perch. 9.5"h x 6"w.
Can be hung outside as well as inside, and small birds like wren (common all over North America), chickadees, nuthatch and titmouse may go inside. The 1 1/4 inch hole is sized for use by small birds but can be enlarged to 1 1/2 inch to appeal to larger birds such Bluebirds and Tree Swallows. Birds might also pull at the wool to use in making their own nests.
The body is made of 100 percent 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 thats 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 room in your home! 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.
