The Amish Made Wizard Birdhouse turns a nest box into a real conversation piece. The wizard's face is built up with raised eyebrows, a mustache, a long beard and wooden ears, and the round 1.25 inch entry hole forms his mouth. It's made from reclaimed lumber that was once used in mushroom farming, which has the weathered texture of old barn siding, so no two are exactly alike.

Because each house is made from reclaimed wood, grain, color and details vary slightly from piece to piece.
Placement Tip
Hang it 5 to 10 feet off the ground near trees or shrubs, with the entry facing away from prevailing winds. Putting it up by late winter gives birds time to find it before nesting season.
