Acorn Sculpture for birds and Garden
(Formerly Acorn Bird Products)

These Acorn Bird Houses and Feeders are cast of highly durable, fiber-reinforced concrete. The hanging bird houses and feeders use high-test, galvanized cable, and the feeders contain either stainless steel woven mesh or welded mesh - They've made these products to last - year after year after year. There's no need to worry about freezing cold temperatures, snow or ice, either.  They're made to remain outdoors year-round.  In fact, your birds will love you for it!

The artist recommends using black oiled sunflower seeds for two reasons: the stainless steel mesh in their Nuthouse Café is not large enough for the larger stripped sunflower seeds to be extracted; and  because black oil sunflower seeds are the most favored attractant in most areas of the country - and, they attract the most favorable species, as well. 
Black oiled sunflower seeds also contain a higher fat content, and are much easier for smaller birds to handle and to penetrate - they also possess a greater meat to shell ratio, meaning more nutrition and less waste (shells).

SORRY, due to high shipping costs we will no longer ship these items.  They are available for pickup only.

Nuthouse

Picture
This is our most popular item!
The 1.25" opening is perfect for small cavity dwellers such as wrens, chickadees and downy woodpeckers. Our "perchless" design prevents intruders from raiding the nest.

Dimensions: 6" dia. x 12" high
$30.00

Nuthouse Cafe

Picture
Designed and created especially for the smaller "clinging" songbird species and common woodpeckers:  chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, goldfinches, downy woodpeckers, hairy woodpeckers, red bellied woodpeckers, etc...  All these birds are capable of clinging directly onto the feeder without a perch. This "perch-less" design discourages the larger, more aggressive birds which could frighten away the very birds you wish to attract.  You'll be amazed to see how well they work!

Acorn Bird Products recommends using black oil sunflower seeds for two reasons: the stainless steel mesh in their Nuthouse Café is not large enough for the larger stripped sunflower seeds to be extracted. Acorn cap lifts for filling with seeds - Contains stainless steel woven mesh.

Dimensions: 6" dia. x 12" high
$38.00

All Bird Café

Picture
Our large capacity pole feeder holds over three quarts of bird seed! The decorative 9" seed tray provides a place where all your feathered favorites can come to meet and eat! Contains welded stainless steel mesh and removable acorn cap for easy filling.

Dimensions: 9" dia. x 17" high
$70.00
(Pole sold separately)

While we recommend black oil sunflower seeds for the Nuthouse Cafe, you can experiment with various seed mixes in our All Bird Café since the stainless steel mesh is slightly larger and the seed tray will collect the smaller particles that pass through the mesh. 

Bluebird Chateau

Picture
For a number of years, the Eastern Bluebird population was in sharp decline, but has since seen a rise in population, primarily due to man-made bluebird "boxes".

We have received many testimonials from some of our customers claiming our Bluebird Chateau to be the best!  But, there are various factors involved in attracting bluebirds - such as best location, which direction it should face, how high off the ground should it be, is it better out in the open or among trees, etc. Our advice is visit the web site of the North American Bluebird Society.  There, you will find a ton of information to help you attract and enjoy these very special and very beautiful songbirds. 

Dimensions: 9" dia. x 17" high
