The Attraction Of A Round Bird House
As the days start to get warmer and the weather turns somewhat nicer, it's always great to get out and about and go shopping for things to brighten up your garden. There is nothing quite like sitting outside in a shady spot in the summer and soaking up the atmosphere and relaxing with that feeling of simply being close to nature.
One of the nicest things to buy for your garden is a round bird house. It's more unusual than the standard square style version, and the birds love it. You can even make your own if you wish; the hardest part is getting the degree of each piece of wood correct as it sits against the one next to it.
If you think you might like to try making your own round bird house, there are plenty of sites online that provide plans and advice for doing just that.
Why Buy A Round Bird House Instead Of A Square One?
A round bird house is not as common and can really catch the eye if it is designed well. The roof generally looks rather like a hat, and can be made from wood - just as the round bird house is - or sometimes a piece of shaped metal can be used instead.
You can buy a round bird house in plenty of different colors too. If you want a natural look, you are best advised to buy one of the following two options - you can either get one which has been stained so that it is weatherproof, although it will still show the natural wood underneath; or you can get one that comes untreated. This second option gives you far more freedom to finish it off exactly as you want it to look.
For example you may have a shed that you have stained with a green wood stain, and you want the round bird house to look exactly the same as it hangs from the roof. An unfinished version would be ideal in this case.
