Last summer I selected my very first
Wild Woolies Felt Birdhouse. I was intrigued by these birdhouses that
were made out of natural wool and couldn't wait to
get one for the little birds that lived in my garden. I carefully
selected which tree to hang the birdhouse from, placed it up on it
limb, smiled at the sight, and let nature do its work. And, of
course, nature did. In a short while, a cute little wren family had
settled in. Little did they or I know what was about to happen. Over
the course of the summer the natural fiber cord that the bird house
hung from got rained on, beaten at by the wind, and when it could no
longer support the weight of the birdhouse, nest, and birds – PLOP
the birdhouse fell onto the ground. Unfortunately, before I could
pick it up from the ground in my yard, my husband ran the lawn mower
over it. It was ruined, but don't worry, the wrens were safe because
they were visiting their cousins in the neighbor's garden next door.
So, this year I had
a plan. I picked out my new Wild Woolies Felt Birdhouse and hung it
with wire. I put it in our porch, away from the elements and, once
again, lo and behold, a new bird family moved in. But they apparently
weren't happy with the way the birdhouse looked; they wanted to make
it their very own. So the birdhouse got a little bit of a makeover.
Look closely at the picture to see what the birds did! Yup, you're
right! They put moss on it! So, don't just walk away from a birdhouse
once you put it up – check back and see if your winged neighbors
decorate as well!
