Amish Hand-Crafted Bird Houses

The Amish people have never lost their traditional skills in craftsmanship, and their hand-crafted bird houses are simply divine.

Sturdily built of the best and most hard-wearing materials, they are not only gorgeous to look at, they are extremely practical and functional, and birds simply love them.

Choose from a wide range of colors, designs and styles.

Amish hand-crafted bird houses are a much-wanted commodity in the today's frantic world, when we are all busy working really hard to make a living.

We want our hard-earned money to buy things that will last, not the plastic rubbish of the throwaway society.

Take some time out.

Sit, down, relax and watch the never-ending activity of our feathered friends flying here, there, and everywhere.

Listening to the delightful sounds of birdsong which, even in a busy city, can still be heard in our backyards.

Encourage those songbirds to nest by providing them with Amish rustic bird houses which are so well-made, they will last for years and years

This is a very simply designed, yet attractive, bird house.

It features a single small hole for access and a perch for mama bird to keep an eye on her chicks.

Some people say it is better to saw off any perches that come with birdhouses to deter bigger birds, but a bigger bird would not get through that small entrance hole anyway.

This Amish bird house measures roughly 6.5" x 6.25" x 8.5" which is plenty of room for one family of small songbirds.

Along the roof are hooks to allow you to hang this birdhouse from a tree or even from the eaves of your house, or it can be fixed onto a tree trunk or house wall.

It is important to situate bird houses in area that will not get direct sun all day, and which has the shelter of trees and bushes nearby.

The entrance hole should always face downwind of the prevailing winds for shelter.

This would also make a wonderful gift for someone with a garden or backyard in which to place it.

This is really quite a novel idea. As you can see from the photos, the rear end this Amish bird house is open and fitted with suction cups.

You simply attach this to any exterior window on your house, preferably at the back of your home away from busy traffic, and everyone in your house can watch the whole marvellous process of the mother bird laying eggs, then hatching, and the babies getting fed and growing until they finally leave home.

What a superb idea this is, much better than watching the telly any day!

And how educational this is for children in your family, to watch the whole reproductive process of small birds being brought almost into the home.

What a uniquely rustic idea! A bird house shaped like a giant acorn.

Wherever you situate this, it will look great in any garden. An acorn bird house will fit into any theme you can think of, whether you have a fairy garden, a play garden, a wild and overgrown garden or if everything is neat and tidy.

This is a real eye-catcher that is solidly-constructed and our little feathered friends will adore their new home.

The back is removable for easy cleaning.

Bird houses should be thoroughly cleaned out once a year with a mixture of 1 part bleach to 10 parts of water, and dried and aired well before returning to its position to await the return of the birds in spring.

From all the arched windows along the sides, to the star on the roof.
