Styles of Rustic Bird Boxes

Birdhouses and rustic bird boxes are wooden items that represent the country outdoor style. Due to the fact that they are made out of natural, unvarnished and sometimes rough wood, rustic bird boxes are generally considered to be symbols of nature and folk art.
 
The most authentic rustic bird boxes are those made of natural wood in its natural color, which range from light beiges and caramel to tanned barns and earthy tones of brown. These boxes are simply constructed with a singular entry and they sometimes keep the authentic shape of the stump of the tree. Among these, there are the low maintenance traditional slate roofed boxes, which are easy to clean and to assemble. The base of these traditional bird boxes can be unscrewed in order to facilitate the fast and easy cleaning.

Another great option is represented by the nesting pockets, which are made especially for small birds such as wrens. And they are constructed out of hand woven coir or sea grass. The bird boxes that reproduce the authentic natural style best are the ones made of actual logs, which keep their shape, texture and color. There are some other options of rustic bird boxes that are made of twigs, vines or branches; besides looking very much like the actual natural tree and branch, these birdhouses are fresh and airy so their interior is kept clean at all times.

The rustic bird boxes that represent specific houses and buildings, such as churches, villas, restaurants or country cottages are more brightly colored.  They are varnished and have sleeker appearances for a more sophisticated and complex look of the rustic style. These luxurious rustic birdhouses are usually found in various sizes that have one or multiple entries for singular birds or large families.

Rustic bird boxes are small items that are set in a patio, orchard, backyard or garden, but their artistic and natural touches can impress and out value the outdoor space in a very rustic and creative manner. Rustic bird boxes are more than just accommodation for small types of birds, as they symbolize a folk trend and establish a great communication with nature and its floral and animal elements.

Ranging from simple and authentic looks that resemble the natural trees to sophisticated and luxurious bird accommodations, rustic bird boxes are very original decor items that create an intimate and welcoming atmosphere in a garden or patio.
