NATURAL GOURD BIRD FEEDERS,
Bird Houses and Craft Gourds

Gourd bird house, Craft Gourds, Double decker Gourd bird feeder, out in the yard.

Made from locally grown Birdhouse Gourds, these unusual birdhouses and feeders are loved by birds of all kinds. The size of the gourd and the entrance hole is sized for the type of bird. We have different sizes and shapes made for any type of bird from tiny wrens to purple martins. It is well known that "Gourds Make The BEST Bird Houses." Birds prefer natural gourd bird houses over manufactured housing. Birds will frequently choose natural gourd birdhouses to raise their family. These gourds, when cleaned and scrubbed, acquire an interesting mottled tan and brown color. Covered with a clear waterproofing primer, these colors are enhanced, and a final coat of non-toxic exterior polyurethane gives a lustrous gloss that weathers very well for many years. The Craft Gourds come in all shapes and sizes, cleaned and primed and ready for whatever you want to make.

ACTION WHIRLIGIGS

Here are some great looking hand-made 'action whirligigs'. Set one up in the yard or garden and wind turns the windmill type blades and the action goes on. Very amusing and endlessly entertaining, it also repells moles. Hand made locally of hardwood and softwood, we have both varnished and hand-painted woodchoppers, fishing bears, fishing man and many more country themes. Using brass and aluminum fittings and heavily varnished, these whirigigs will surely last for many years. Unique and one-of-a-kind, this folk art form will add much to your yard or garden.

A great looking and amusing ceramic bluebird and butterfly- with a twist!.


Here is a collection of great looking ceramic birds and butterflies. Unique and one-of-a-kind, this unusual art form will surely surprise everyone. Not your 'normal' ceramic animals, these are in two parts, held together with magnets. They are attached together, but on opposite sides of a screen or window, giving the impression that they are flying through the window. Impressive and cool.
