Handmade Cicada Insect Bird Box

Our handmade insect bird box is based on a cicada, although this one is much quieter than the real thing! It will be a fabulous place for birds to nest as well as a bright and extremely quirky addition to the garden. It makes a super gift for birthdays, retirement, and many other special occasions. It's even been requested for a wedding! An ideal present for mum and dad, your neighbours or you friends, it will be the talking point of the garden and certainly be a something they don’t already own.

Painted in black with yellow stripes and with blue and pink wings, the bird box the bird box is bright enough to be seen all the way down the garden.

This bird box is carefully handmade from high-grade sustainable European redwood pine supplied by a small local wood merchant. It is then hand-painted with water-based wood paints suitable for exterior use. These paints, by Little Greene, a small independent British manufacturer from the northwest of England (who have been creating paints since 1773), enable us to create beautiful products that are non-toxic to plants and wildlife.

The roof lifts off for easy cleaning, the box comes with full mounting and care instructions (we even include the screws) and it is a usable bird box suitable for birds like great tits and blue tits.

Please be aware that each item is individually handmade and hand-painted to order so one item will differ slightly from another and may not appear exactly as in the photographs of other products. This means that each product is entirely unique and extremely individual!

Also note that as we make each item from wood there may some variation in grain. Over time there may also be movement in joints and surfaces. This is down to the nature of ‘real wood' as opposed to synthetic materials and we feel further adds to the individuality of each product. All items are individually handmade and personalised to order by us in the UK.
