Vintage Bird Houses

For many of us, decor with a olde worlde look has a great appeal. To achieve the old appearance, you can either reproduce an original vintage item, or add a vintage touch to something modern. If you go in search of vintage bird houses, it is normally the latter you will find.

The great variety of bird houses we have nowadays did not exist many years ago. The vintage look birdhouses normally just incorporate a design that has old world connections. Often, the vintage connection is achieved by basing the bird house on an old style "human" house.

The bird house on the left is a fine example. It is a special blue bird house with a rickety cottage look, with the roof design making it something of a vintage bird house.

The second picture (left) is suitable for more types of birds, and is a hanging bird house. This unique bird house gains its vintage touch from the wood finishing, but more so from the ornate roof, which is reminiscent of a style from an age long since passed.

Some of the basic bird houses you see, in the most common styles, seem very plain and boring when compared to such vitnage styles as the ones we have show here.

So, if you relate bird houses to garden decor, and like distinctive decor, then these unusual and varied vintage bird houses may be just right for your garden.

The final picture gains its vintage attraction from basing the bird house on a Victorian style house, with high pitched roofs. As you can see, there is a choice of colour for the roof, both with a rustic touch, making these unusual but very attractive bird houses for any garden.
