Gingerbread style birdhouse - Style 30206 Review

Gingerbread style birdhouse - Style 30206

Poorly designed. Birds don't like nests when there are two entrances to the nest, so I covered the top one up. Also, the bottom hole has littled clearance and I am afraid the nestlings will fall out.

Gone Fishin' Birdhouse Review

Gone Fishin' Birdhouse
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This style of bird house was chosen because of the top hanger so it can be hung from a tree branch. The materials used as the price would suggest are fairly cheap, but the main frame is solidly stapled. The glued on decorative fringes probably will not last much weathering, but I doubt if the tenants will mind. The only problem is there is no way to get at the inside to clean out old nests.
Overall, a favorable purchase, a little better than I expected for the price.

Very cute but one of the spurs was broken off and the tail does not fit right. Have to put another hole in it to make the tail stay on.

Red Carpet Studios Birdie In The Woods Birdhouse, 14-Inch Tall, Old Man Face Review

Red Carpet Studios Birdie In The Woods Birdhouse, 14-Inch Tall, Old Man Face
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this whimsical old man bird house because I thought it looked like my husband! LOL! I am a bird house lover and this was so unique I had to have it. We have it up on a telephone pole in our back yard. It's been up for a couple of years now. On the upside, it's the most unusual birdhouse I have and the commentary on it is constant. On the downside, I have never seen a single bird go inside the nose. I would LOVE to see this and if it ever happened, a photo of that moment would be worth a thousand words.
Maybe it's because there is no perch for the birds to sit on under the opening in the nose; apparently it's difficult to fly up and into the nose. Not that I myself would ever want to fly up and into someone's nose so maybe that's the same reason no birds ever go inside this bird house!
It's a novelty for sure! I don't regret the purchase because it's a fun addition to my birdhouse world! I also purchased another 'old man' birdhouse to compliment this one and they are pretty cute one above the other on our telephone pole. Here is the other version which is softer and just as unique:

The quality is excellent! This birdhouse should stand the test of weather and time for years and years, unlike a lot of other birdhouses out there. There is nothing flimsy about this, the construction is well done. I'd give it 5 stars if the birds actually used it; the design and uniqueness of it are exceptional!

Protected Bluebird Jail Feeder Review

Protected Bluebird Jail Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have only had this feeder for 2 weeks now but the birds have not figured out how to feed out of it. Although the squirels have. I am hoping they just need a little more time and maybe I should take down one of the feeders they are more familar with and then they would eat out of it. Although, the worms cant get out of the little cup you are supposed to put them in which is good!!!! I am going to give my birds a little more time to figure out the feeder and how to get to the food/worms in it before I call it a waste of my money. I think I am going to take down a couple of other feeders the birds are more familar with and see if they use the Jail feeder more. I will leave a message with the results.

Stovall 4H Woodpecker House Review

Stovall 4H Woodpecker House
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We put this house up in January (we live in Central Florida) and within 2 weeks it was being visited by our local woodpecker pair. I don't think they actually moved in, maybe because they already had a nest set up somewhere else, but at least they've noticed it and I've seen them going in from time to time. Maybe next year it will get lived in.
I've also seen squirrels go in and heard them digging around, but they don't seem to be living in it either. We'll see what happens as time goes by. I'm happy with it, though, and the critters seem to have no problem with it either.

Thoughtful design and good, solid wood used for construction. Probably break even purchasing the wide plank wood required to build this but then again, that's part of the fun. I simply didn't have the time to build this and PRIME saved me on shipping.

Le Petit Chalet LPC-1006 Screened Porch Bird House - Red, White and Black Review

Le Petit Chalet LPC-1006 Screened Porch Bird House - Red, White and Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received my Le Petit Chalet birdhouse from Amazon. This is going to be a Xmas gift. The item's box was torn in several places and when I opened the item, there were several of the pieces broken that needed to be glued. It seems the person who reviewed this product before me also had the same trouble. The product also was very dusty. This should not be. Amazon packaged the birdhouse box in a larger box, therefore greater handling of the product should have happened. So disappointed. This isn't the first time I ordered a product (non-book) from Amazon that came defective, damaged or looking worn and used. I expect better Amazon. Stick to selling books.

The materials are solid but when I took it out of the box it was coming apart.....husband was able to use some screws and get it more solid but we shouldn't have had to do that....I didn't want to send it back as it was a gift and needed for a certain date.

Eva Solo Bird Feeder Review

Eva Solo Bird Feeder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Received as a Christmas gift and was I excited! I opened the box and a little of the excitement died. The feeder was very small, disproportionate for something that was going to make a statement in the backyard. The hole for the bird was very TINY, much smaller than a sparrow would be able to enter. I looked on the box to see where the feeder had been manufactured. No info. Translation: China. Even though the box touted Danish designers, coolness, blah blah. I decided to keep it anyhow with some hopes.
So birds seemed to be freaked out by the clear glass. There is no perch, they would fly up and just hover. The hole was just to small for them to fly near, land and eat. Plus it swung wildly if they attempted to land. It was the lowliest feeder in the land - nothing ever went near it.
Finally, a squirrel chewed through the copper hanging wire and the thing fell to the ground and shattered into a million pieces. There went over $60, didn't even last 3 months.
Obviously, no product testing.
Piece o' crap! Save your money visit a bird store & go with the staff recommendation-they know what they are talking about.

Hummer Helper Cage and Nesting Material Review

Hummer Helper Cage and Nesting Material
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I hate to give a product less than 4 or 5 stars but I never had a single taker with this product. I left it out for more than 3/4 of the summer and the birds wouldn't go near it. The previous summer I put clean pet hair in a wire ball that was designed for feeding lettuce snacks to pet bunny rabbits (check the image gallery for this product). I hung that out and had all kinds of goldfinches and titmouses going after it. It really was a sight to see. Then, as I said, I hung this product up last summer right next to the wire ball of pet hair and the birds were so frightened of the Hummer Helper Cage that they wouldn't even take the pet hair because it was too close to this big scary thing. At first I just figured they were uninterested this year for some silly reason. Until I took down the hummer helper cage. Before the summer was even over I had a female ruby-throated hummingbird showing INTENSE curiosity about my pet hair ball and the goldfinches eventually took it all. It wasn't even the time of year for nesting but they clearly liked it (I have a photo of that, too, in the image gallery). That's when I realized all along that the only problem had been the hummer cage. Next year, I'll only be putting out the ball of clean pet hair. I gave this product 3 stars instead of a lower rating because it's a good concept and seemed well-made, and because birds in other areas may not be frightened of it (after all, they each have their own personality). But for me, I'm probably going to give it to another friend who's a bird lover. She lives a half hour away and the birds near her seem a little less fickle.

Esschert Design Bird Nesting Pocket -Sea Grass Review

Esschert Design Bird Nesting Pocket -Sea Grass
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two of these, and one of them was indeed used a few years ago by a family of wrens. However, unless birds in your vicinity are inclined to use another birds' nest, this pocket will probably not be utilized again. It is impossible to easily remove a previous family's nest. Best sold as a decoration only, not as a functioning birding item.

Shipping was great... came pretty quick after ordering. BUT... after having it hang outside after only 2 days, the roof of the feeder broke in half. We will try to repair it... just seems a bit soon to have to be doing so. Quite disappointed.
