Provide songbirds a luxurious coastal retreat when you place this Home Bazaar Lakeshore Cottage Bird House in your yard. The gorgeous details, bright coloration, and lakeside motif of this dwelling bring ample charm to your bird sanctuary, and the wood construction of the unit lends substantial and lasting appeal. A steeply pitched roof, covered in slate blue wooden shingles, gives realism and color to the domicile, enhanced by planter baskets filled with faux foliage situated on the home's front columns. Brown accents border the front door and windows, and a detailed figure of a wreath rests on the inviting entry to complete the presentation. Small steps lead up to the doorway for added detail, while a 1.25" diameter entry hole rests near the top of a side panel, letting small songbirds gain easy passage to the solace of a cozy chamber. A pair of drainage holes on the base of the home help the nest remain dry, and ventilation gaps beneath the roof and on the rear of the unit help facilitate optimal airflow for a clean shelter. Screening inside the home forms a helpful ladder, giving nestlings a boost as they climb to exit the hole, and the back panel removes in moments for nest checks and cleaning. A back mounting paddle sports a predrilled hole that allows you to place this lovely domicile against a wall, tree, or fence in moments, or mount the flat base of this item to a post or pole using a mounting plate (not included) for a different display. The light tones of the home provide a fantastic contrast as you embellish your birding sanctuary, and the durable construction lets you enjoy the piece for season after season. Beckon delightful feathered friends to your coastal bird haven with the alluring Lakeside Cottage Bird House.
