Felt Birdhouse Hummingbird

YES! Small birds such as wrens, nuthatches, and chickadees will find them and use them as a safe place to nest and rest.

If hung in a protected outdoor area, such as under a porch roof, our birdhouses will last for years and years and birds will use it for many seasons. If placed in direct sun, colors will begin to gently fade over 2-3 months, but the birdhouse will retain its shape for more than a year in fully exposed weather. Of course, it will last indefinitely indoors!

Since it’s made of water repellent sheep’s wool, moisture from rain or snow will wick through the felt and around the nest. Once the rain stops, the birdhouse will air-dry since wool naturally breathes. Also, wool is thermal so it’s cool in summer and warm in winter!

Each birdhouse has a handy hole in the base that you can open to remove old twigs and nesting materials if you want. If the outside becomes soiled, a good brushing is usually all that’s needed. If it becomes stained, work the spot with water and mild soap, then rinse and air dry. Do not put into a washing machine or dryer.
