Bamboo Bird Houses
Bamboo has gained favor recently because it is considered to be an eco-friendly material. Technically a grass, it grows quickly and can regenerate in just 3 to 5 years. But as a hardwood it has few equals. The strength is such that its nickname is "green steel" and its hardness rivals many of the traditional hardwoods. But the appearance of the wood is preferred by many as well, so you aren't giving up good looks for a sustainable building material.
Bamboo Bird House Styles
Bamboo houses are most often include smaller holes that are sized for smaller birds like wren and chickadees, or even the occasional woodpecker. You can find them in styles that are reminiscent of oriental designs, or ones that emulate smaller conventional houses. There are even some that look more like log cabin birdhouses.
This even includes L shaped houses and multistory dwellings. And you can be sure to find a bamboo hut in the selection as well. Most of these units will have a removable floor, which facilitates easy cleaning in the fall.
