Songbird Essentials Parrot Gord-O Bird House

Yes, it is designed for outdoor use. The albesia wood is finished with a protective polyurethane coating and weather-resistant, non-toxic paint to help it withstand the elements.

This house is generally sized for smaller cavity-nesting birds like wrens, chickadees, or nuthatches. Because it is a decorative, hand-carved piece, it works best as a supplemental nesting spot rather than a primary habitat for larger species.

To keep the environment healthy for birds, you should clean out old nesting material once the season ends. While this model does not feature a specific clean-out door, you can typically remove debris through the entrance hole using a small brush or by gently shaking it out.

It comes ready to hang, typically featuring an attached cord or hook for easy installation. You will just need to find a sturdy branch or hook under a tree canopy to secure it.

While the polyurethane coating provides a layer of protection, all painted outdoor wood products will eventually show signs of wear when exposed to direct sunlight and rain. To extend the life of the finish, we recommend hanging it in a spot that offers some shade or protection from harsh, direct weather.
