Proven in Europe for over 40 years 10" high x 6" diameter, 15" overall including hanger, 8 lbs.
1-1/2" hole for Eastern Bluebirds, tree swallows.
These birdhouses are made from a unique blend of 75% pine sawdust, burnt clay and other natural materials, formed and baked to provide a nesting home for birds that is healthy for them and which will last for 20 years or more in your garden. This remarkable material actually "breathes" like wood. Yet it is completely rotproof and the non-toxic brown paint on the roof and sides sheds water like a duck's back. Resistant to damage by squirrels and raccoons. Seven models, with entry holes specially sized for American birds.

Recently, we carefully removed last year's bluebird nest from a 20 year old Schwegler birdhouse to show you in the video below. While the nest cup was made from soft dry grasses, we were surprised to see it resting on a 2" foundation of hundreds of 1½" fruit stems, perhaps from our crabapple trees. A perfect insulation and drainage material – springy too. |

Schwegler birdhouses
I have 10+ Schwegler birdhouses. Growing up in Germany I saw the first one almost 50 yrs. ago and it still is on the same tree being used yearly by Chickadees. Here in Wyoming, its mostly wrens and tree swallows using them. They are so durable and I will get more in the future.

Schwegler Birdhouses
I grew up in Germany and over 40 yrs. ago I saw the first Schwegler birdhouse in a forrest in Germany. It is still there now. And, Germany has lots more rain/moisture then Wyoming. I have now at least 10 Schwegler birdhouses here and tree swallows and wrens love them.

I am on my way to purchasing my third tree trunk birdhouse. They are constructed well and designed perfectly. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

I bought this as a gift, and it was well received. As of this week it has a family of blue birds, so it seems to be doing its job quite well.
