Birdhouse or bird feeder? Is there a difference? Which one is best for me? While they may seem similar, the difference between a birdhouse and a bird feeder is their function. The purpose of a bird feeder is to do just that: feed the birds. A birdhouse is designed to provide a secure place for birds to nest. So, if your desire is to do more than just feed birds, but to give them a safe place to build a nest and raise their hatchlings, then a birdhouse is the right choice for you! This birdhouse is called 'The Jetson' because of its sleek, mid-century modern design. These unique, handmade birdhouses have been designed and created with highly reputable Amish craftsmanship right here in the USA. Every detail of these pieces have been thoughtfully planned out so that you get the best of the best. Each birdhouse is made with Poly Lumber and 100% post-consumer recycled plastic; a wonderful way to take care of the Earth while simultaneously enjoying the Earth's beauty. To ensure no maintenance is needed on these houses, our builder uses stainless steel screws and cables, aluminum screens, and UV protection.
