These birdhouses are excellent pieces to decorate your yard or garden. They are made entirely out of metal and come with a multi-pronged garden stake so you can securely stand them in the grass, a flower bed, or anywhere else you can poke it in. The finishes are all made in a distressed aged look as in the photos, notice the green patina effect on the copper color and the black aging effect on the silver color. While these are very fancy and ornate houses, birds do actually use them. For best results we always reccomend you place them somewhere in the shade so they don't get too warm, otherwise the birds won't bother going in and making a nest. The only assembly needed is to twist the parts together on the connecting bolts, shouldn't take more than a minute or two once everything is opened and unwrapped. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask below or send us a direct message using the "Contact Seller" option.
