'Smashed Avocado' Bird House #140

'Smashed Avocado' Bird House is one of a kind and unique birdhouse finished in a decoupage process, painted and sealed ready for outside. 

It's been made by Dad/Stan, from team BeSt, and finished by Bette/Mum. As pictured it has a timber stained roof and avocado green perch. The walls are covered in avocados and there is a little front porch, with a green entry door and a yard.

It can be placed in a tree from a hanging hook (which Dad can add for you), or attached to a pole or on a post. It will need a coat of marine varnish in about 3 years to give it more life and help protect it. And kept out of direct sun will keep it looking bright and crisp too. 

The actual house is about 30cm high by 14cm wide (at base) and 32cm deep/long including the 7cm for the foyer and entry. It's about 37cm wide at its widest point where the roof meets the walls. 

At the back is a door for easy clean out once the birds have grown up and left the nest! 

There's also a 2022 coin on one side - this is Dad's little thing, that started years ago when he was teaching woodwork to special needs people in the Hunter Valley. Although this coin is in memory of Queen Elizabeth.
