The birdhouse is modeled on an alpine country house with many small details. The "truss" and the roof are pre -glazed in brown, while the seat ring and the gable are glazed in white. The bird feeder is delivered fully assembled, including a matching plastic silo and a matching base. So you can start feeding wild birds immediately! The feed silo can be closed with a lid to protect the feed from moisture. The silo is simply placed in the matching ring in the ground and can withstand some wind without tipping over from the house.
