These birdhouses are excellent pieces to decorate your yard or garden. The frame is made entirely out of metal and the cylinder house part is made out of porcelain ceramic. They each come with a multi-pronged garden stake so you can securely stand them in the grass, a flower bed, or anywhere else you can poke it in. The finishes are all made in a distressed aged look as in the photos, notice the green patina effect on the copper color. While these are very fancy and ornate houses, birds do actually use them. For best results we always reccomend you place them somewhere in the shade so they don't get too warm, otherwise the birds won't bother going in and making a nest. Be careful not to drop them, they are made out of porcelain and can break if dropped on a hard surface.
