Details

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.

Bluebird nest boxes in action...

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.

This is an attractive addition to the garden, and blends well into a natural or more contemporary landscape. It is a heavy birdhouse, and will require a substantial limb or branch if you are going to hang in a tree. I also found hanging it close to a feeder resulted in the birds not coming to the feeder so you likely will want to separate the two if you have both elements in the garden.

This is a very attractive bird house. I placed it on a large tulip poplar facing west. There are many trees in my yard so it is mostly shaded. Sturdy and well made. Thank you.

I have over twelve of these houses in my yard. They are always the first to be taken by many different birds. Easy to clean and hold up forever!!!!! I have 3 DIFFERENT STYLES and all are taken. No vacancy signs are up.

Hope for bluebirds

I had wrens in my bluebird house within a day. Not what I was looking for, but we are enjoying watching the wrens make their nest. They are very busy, sassy birds.

I love these birdhouses. I've had one for many years. It's a very sturdy, well built bird house. I'm moving, so I bought a couple of new ones since mine is occupied.

Bluebirds love it

Pair of bluebirds chose it and started building a nest within one day of my hanging the house. Just perfect.
