Hang outdoors in a protected area (on a porch) where wrens like to nest. Includes clean-out hole. Even better for indoor decor! Use as a piggy bank, tooth fairy house, etc. A fun and educational gift that sells in any kind of store. Made in Nepal with sustainably harvested, water-resistant sheep wool, jute hanging cord & bamboo perch.
These felt birdhouses are made by artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal, who are paid a fair wage and work in a clean, safe and environmentally-responsible workplace that meets international social compliance standards. Management promotes the development of skills and abilities of the artisans, most of whom are women.
HOW DO I CLEAN IT OUT?
It’s easy to remove old twigs and nesting materials from the handy clean-out hole in the base or through the entry hole. If the outside becomes soiled, a good brushing is usually all that’s needed. If it becomes stained, work the spot with water and mild soap, then rinse and air dry. Do not put into a washing machine or dryer.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST OUTSIDE?
If hung in a protected outdoor area, such as under a porch roof, our birdhouses will last for years and years. If placed in direct sun, colors will begin to gently fade over 2-3 months, but they will retain their shape for more than a year in fully exposed weather. Of course, it will last indefinitely indoors!
