Comments about Colorful Birdhouse:

This looked like a bird house that would add a nice bit of color and style to the landscape, while providing a sweet house for my feathered friends. However, the front decoration that served as a perch fell off quickly and the paint colors faded immediately. It's been up for a few months and no birds have built a nest in it and I had to attach it to a fence post in order to make it stable.

Birds love it!

Comments about Colorful Birdhouse:

It looks great in my new flower bed. I have the purple one and planted Russian Sage in front of it. I was disapointed though that the color really faded to a light lavendar. Still looks good but not as colorful!

Comments about Colorful Birdhouse:

No birds in it because the pole won't hold it up or stay together. In order to use this for it's purpose, we'll have to fashion a new pole. But it's cute as the dickens and can be used to decorate the garden.

Comments about Colorful Birdhouse:

I put my new birdhouse together this Spring along with a 'For Wrent' sign. By the afternoon, a very stylish wren bypassed the older wren houses and decided to take up residency in the brand new birdhouse that I had purchased late last year. Oh how we enjoyed listening to the wrens and watching them build their nest of twigs. Every morning when daylight broke, we could hear the wrens singing. Mama and daddy wren were kept busy throughout the day finding enough food to keep their 4 babies happy. Yesterday momma wren sat outside the house and with her chattering, the 4 babies soon began to fledge from the house. We will miss watching the antics of the wrens but look forward to next year when I put the 'For Wrent' sign on the house once again. Not only was this house very colorful and stylish but was so easy to clean. The back of the house opens up and I was able to remove the large amount of twigs and then wash out the interior. No screws or tools needed.

Comments about Colorful Birdhouse:

After a summer season, the glue used to hold it together dried out. My husband had to reglue and use small nails to put it back together. I currently have nesting house wrens so the birds seem to like it.

Comments about Colorful Birdhouse:

Faded quickly in sun. The wind seemed to wreak havoc on the pole which was screwed together (three pieces). I kept having to screw it back together. One of the screwed pieces split and would not longer work. I would not recommend this product.

Added a touch of whimsy to the garden. Birds nested in it right away. The lower post doesn't screw in properly, so I just didn't use the lower post. Even if it was shorter, it still looked beautiful. Would definitely recommend this product!

Comments about Colorful Birdhouse:

I purchased the set of 3 birdhouses and gave 2 away. I liked the look and colors. Much to my suprise, within a week of placing the birdhouse outside, we had nesting wrens. My friend had a blue bird family just as quickly. My mom is awaiting her first bird boarders but she has two other occupied wren houses nearby so we are hoping for birds the next time they nest.
