Plow & Hearth Stone Cottage Birdhouse

The 1.25-inch entrance hole is specifically sized for smaller songbirds, such as wrens, chickadees, and finches. It is generally too small for larger, more aggressive birds like starlings or house sparrows.

The house features a removable back wall, which allows you to easily open the structure to clear out old nesting materials and debris. We recommend cleaning it out once a year, ideally in late winter before the spring nesting season begins.

This model is designed specifically for hanging. While you could potentially modify it to sit on a flat surface, it does not come with hardware for post-mounting.

Yes, the birdhouse is constructed from durable pine and cedar, which are naturally weather-resistant. However, like any wood product left outside, it will age gracefully over time; applying a clear, non-toxic outdoor sealant can help extend its lifespan if you live in a particularly harsh climate.

No, the Adirondack chair and flower boxes are decorative accents permanently attached to the exterior. They are designed to enhance the cottage aesthetic and are not intended to be moved or played with.
