Classic Birdhouse
The Classic Birdhouse brings together a traditional shape with Brooklyn Birdhouse design features. This nest box is built for chickadees, wrens, titmice, and nuthatches with a 1 1/4" entry hole. It is solidly constructed by hand with weather-resistant cedar, exterior screws, and non-toxic glue. A weathered predator guard and hand-painted shingles gives this birdhouse a unique touch. Minimal use of low-voc paint emulates a natural nesting environment for birds while giving humans a decorative element. 

Every Brooklyn Birdhouse is unique in its own way with wood’s natural variations such as knots and grain.

DESIGN FEATURES WITH THE BIRDS’ NEEDS IN MIND
