These openings mimic crevices found in wood piles or bark, which butterflies naturally use for protection and shelter. A detailed butterfly image occupies the base of the home, and the black, lapped roof completes the stylish piece. A hanging tab on the back of the roost swings upward, for you to mount the item onto a post or tree in moments with the included screw. The soft green color enhances nearby foliage, and the wooden construction furthers the natural theme. Provide butterflies a fantastic shelter in your garden with this Green Classic Butterfly House with Perches.

Note: Climate and the elements will weather the house and change its appearance over time; however, weathering will add to the home's natural charm without compromising its function. Should you want to preserve the finish (paint), you should select a polyurethane product that is recommended for marine use (UV Rated). You should expect that once left outside, the product will weather and require refinishing.

Placement Tips

For nesting, place the birdhouse 5 to 10 feet high in a quiet, partly shaded spot on a post, fence or sturdy tree, facing away from prevailing winds. Small entrance holes attract wrens, chickadees and other small songbirds. Clean out old nests each fall, and if you would rather use it purely as garden decor, a covered porch or patio shelf will keep the finish looking its best for years.
