My daughter, Angelin, gave me a birdhouse made of moss for Christmas. I thought at first it was a gag gift. It looks like it once belonged to the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I put it in the shed. This week, I remembered it, drug it out and hung it on a Shepherd’s Crook with a baffle.
The house may look weird, but it has some extraordinary features. The house is made of wicker and green moss – both natural nesting materials. It looks like it would disintegrate after the first rain, but the moss vine makes it extra study. Previous users have enjoyed 3 and 4 years of nesting birds. Unlike a wooden house, this house allows natural ventilation and keeps humidity low. You can hang it so it blends in with the outdoor environment.
One satisfied customer said, “We have had 2 families of bluebirds nest in our Raindrop Pod. It’s such a cool addition to our outdoor garden space!
I’ve only had it up for a few days, so as far as I know, it’s still on the market. If bluebirds don’t nest there, maybe a wren will call it home. Afterall, if wrens will nest in a mailbox, they’ll love this new green, mossy house.
