A copper roof birdhouse is a very nice looking addition to your yard decor.
They might be a little higher priced but looks so much nicer and will last a lot longer.
Most of them are hand-painted birdhouses and even handcrafted.
One of the companies that are well known for their birdhouses with copper roofs is Good Directions.
They are the makers of the Lazy hill farm copper-roofed bird houses.
All their products are made with a weatherproof vinyl and in combination with the copper roof, this birdhouse will last for many years.
The owners of what some people call Amish birdhouses with copper roofs often tell in reviews that this is the eye-catcher in their yard and most of the time they make it the very first thing visitors see when they come to their houses.
I have read many reviews that these copper-roofed birdhouses have withstood the terrible winter of 2013 with no problem and even a foot of snow did not harm them.
The things I would look for is if the roof can be easily removed for a clean down of the inside of the birdhouse.
Basically there are two kinds of uses for a birdhouse
- As a feeder
- As a birdhouse
You can use it as a feeder or you can use it an actual birdhouse and hope the birds will build a nest in it.
Both have the same need for quality and have to be weatherproof.
in the first situation of the bird feeder, you want the seed to stay dry and clean.
In the second situation of a birdhouse for birds to nest in you want the nest to be sheltered from the elements.
The birdhouses and this certainly goes for the ones with a copper roof, are available in many shapes and sizes.
I have seen them as large as with 10 compartments.
If this is a good idea for nesting I do not know. My knowledge of birds is too limited for that.
