SuperMoss Woven Birdhouses are made the same way as our MossWeave Baskets, and are extremely durable and meant for outdoor and garden use. The nests maintain their shape through the elements and will not deteriorate for multiple years. Each house comes with an elegant chain to easily hang from a tree branch or hook.Keep out of direct sunlight in order to preserve the Mountain Moss exterior. Ensure your birdhouse does not become waterlogged. If you notice water or ice accumulating, bring it inside and allow it to dry before putting it back outside. Protect from wind by positioning the birdhouse in a location that provides some protection from the wind. Periodically check and clean the birdhouse to remove any debris, old birdseed, or accumulation. If possible, position the birdhouse near natural shelter, such as trees or shrubs. This can provide additional protection from harsh weather elements as well as give visitors that extra layer of safety and comfort. And finally, enjoy!
