The red, orange, and yellow Dahlias featured on the front, sides, and bottom of this birdhouse were grown by a friend and co-worker of Sally's who used tailing from his family's shellfish beds to amend the soil. This is one happy birdhouse that will make a bright focal point in your landscape. Sally thinks it looks especially nice against darker evergreens or shaded woods.

I build these birdhouses using 3/4" plywood and metal panels that I design and make in my studio. The panels will never rust. They are made from the same UV-protected metal as a novelty license plate, like those for a university or ball team. Hang your birdhouse in dappled sun or full shade for happy birds and long lasting colors. Air vents located under the protection of the eaves and in the floor allow air flow through-out. The roof is removable for easy access to clean out old nests.

• Interior birdhouse is constructed of 3/4″ plywood, except for the roof, which is one of the metal panels.
• Hole is 1.5″ Diameter.
• 6″ x 6″ x 12″
• Approx 7.5″ wide at the eaves
