What makes us better than most other theme birdhouse manufacturers??? We use High Quality Materials and Ours are Designed for OUTDOOR USE: Your new birdhouse comes ready to use out of the box as everything is coated with a high quality outdoor spar urethane. Most items we add on will stand up to the *weather elements.  * NOTE:  If decals are used, it's recommended to place your birdhouse in a spot where it doesn't get 100% sun exposure.  We have found that the sun does cause some colors to fade.  And you can keep it looking great with your yearly maintenance coat of spar urethane.

Hand Built QUALITY:  You won't find this kind of QUALITY just anywhere!  We BUILD OUR OWN BIRDHOUSES out of Western Red Cedar.  It is the BEST WOOD for nestboxes and Outdoor Birdhouses! More about Western Red Cedar Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) is one of North America's great renewable resources. Slow growing and naturally durable, Western Red Cedar has one of the longest life spans of any North American softwood. It produces long lengths of timber with true, straight grain. It is free from pitch and its heartwood has natural decay resistance. Low density gives it an insulation value superior to most other species. Light weight and possessing outstanding dimensional stability, Western Red Cedar is a preferred wood for nearly all purposes where attractive appearance or resistance to weather is important. Decay Resistance One of Western Red Cedar’s most valuable characteristics is its well-known high resistance to decay. It is one of the most durable coniferous species and can be counted on to give long and trouble free service under most conditions. Cedar’s decay resistance comes from the presence of naturally occurring fungicidal compounds in the wood called thujaplicins. Another extractive present in the wood, thujic acid, helps make the wood resistant to insect attack. Resistance to Termites and Wood Borers Western Red Cedar's natural resistance to termite attack has been found to vary with termite species, source of wood materials and feeding conditions. However, Western Red Cedar is "non-preferred" i.e., the termites will not eat western red cedar if they have access to other wood species with less resistance. However red cedar will be attacked if there are no other sources of food available.  Eating cedar has been shown to result in significant termite mortality. Please note: Cedar naturally fades to a soft gray over time.  Yearly maintenance of a fresh coat of outdoor spar urethane will keep it looking great longer! Have a theme idea for a house?
