The Byer of Maine Alcyon Egg Bird House�s bottle design will add flair to your garden while providing a safe place for songbirds away from the harassment of larger birds. Designed specifically with small birds in mind, your chickadees, wrens, and other small birds will love this weather-proof stoneware home. Its deep design is perfect for raising young, and the small 1_� opening will make it difficult for larger birds like crows and jays from harassing and raiding the nest. It�s easy to maintain this bird home: just unscrew the bottom to remove old nesting material once the birds are finished with it. We recommend hanging this house in a shaded area. A forged steel hanging hook comes with purchase, and is ideally designed to hold the weight of this birdhouse. The Byer of Maine Egg Bird Home comes in four gorgeous colors: cobalt blue, sandy granite, oxide red and leaf green. The complete dimensions are 7�L x 7�W x 9�H.
