Decorative birdhouses are fun, but not always practical for birds. These unique birdhouses provide safe nesting spots for your feathered friends.
Adding shelter for nesting birds is a must for any backyard birder. We’ve rounded up our favorite decorative unique birdhouses that add whimsy to your garden, but also are practical for birds. To boost your chance of attracting nesting birds, follow these basic birdhouse guidelines. You can actually attract different types of birds to nesting boxes based on the size of the entrance hole, the location, and more.
Snoopy Doghouse Birdhouse
Woodstock won’t be the only adorable feathered friend to visit Snoopy’s doghouse. This birdhouse is perfect for all Peanuts fans.
Stone Cottage Birdhouse
This little charmer has adorable accessories but still meets birds’ requirements, including a removable back wall for cleaning. One note: It’s probably better to mount this box on a wall or post rather than hanging it from a branch to provide nesting birds more stability.
Rock City Birdhouse
It doesn’t get any cuter than this teensy little barn for the backyard birds. It’s topped with an adorable rooster finial. Anyone who loves the country lifestyle will want one.
Heartwood Chick Bird House
This bright and colorful unique birdhouse will welcome chickadees, nuthatches and swallows. Pick from red or blue to match your flower garden. We just love that hand-shingled roof.
Rustic Farmhouse Wren House
Wrens will adore this rustic farm style birdhouse. The tiny hole is just big enough for the birds, but small enough to keep out predators. Open up the side panel for easy cleaning.
Hydrangea Birdhouse Art Pole
If you love garden art and backyard birds, this is the perfect combination. Beautiful hydrangea blooms and butterflies will add beauty to your yard in every season.
