A Wood Havens
birdhouse is not just a house...it's a home. I
make my birdhouses with the serious bird enthusiast in mind, but occasionally
with whimsy at heart. My functional, well-crafted, distinctive
houses and feeders provide welcoming havens for your backyard visitors...which
means hours of fun for you.
Functional
While Wood Havens birdhouses are beautiful, they really are for
the birds! I design each house to attract certain types of birds. I make
the size of the entryway and the shape of the interior chamber of each
house according to recommendations by the National Wildlife Federation.
And unlike purely decorative birdhouses, Wood Havens
houses are accessible for cleaning, and they are free of perches that
attract predators. I also field test all feeders to ensure they actually
attract birds.
Well-crafted
Havens are crafted mainly with cedar and
pine, and some PVC and copper. They are expertly joined, and I
use hardware that is approved for outdoor use. Each house and feeder is
painted with exterior paint and coated with exterior spar urethane, a
weatherproofing compound used on boats.
Distinctive
I hand craft and hand paint all Wood Haven products. They are
not mass produced, so no two are ever exactly alike, making them a unique
addition to your own backyard or a great gift for any occasion.
If you see a house
on this site that you would like to have in a different color, I do take
custom orders. I also
offer squirrel feeders to lure the squirrels away from your bird
feeder.
