Why No Perch? We prioritize bird safety! Perches actually help predators (like squirrels or larger birds) grip the house to reach inside. Songbirds have the precise flying skills to land directly on the entrance edge without a perch.
Care Instructions for Longevity:
-
Annual Maintenance: Apply a fresh coat of polyurethane each year to keep the colors vibrant.
-
Placement: Hang in a shaded or partially shaded area to prevent overheating and color fading.
-
Winter Care: While durable, minimizing exposure to heavy ice and snow will extend the life of the finish.
Every order includes a Birdhouse Care Card to help your new garden art last for years!
