Frequently Asked Questions

What is a whimsical birdhouse?

A whimsical birdhouse is a decorative birdhouse designed to look like a storybook house — crooked, curved, painted, or shaped like a gourd or dome — instead of a plain wooden box. Curvy Birdies birdhouses are handmade and hand-painted in the USA, so they work as garden art as well as a home for small birds.

Are Curvy Birdies birdhouses really handmade?

Yes. Curvy Birdies birdhouses are handmade and hand-painted by a family-owned, USA-made shop. Because they are painted by hand, each one will vary slightly from the photos on the website.

Can Curvy Birdies birdhouses live outside?

Yes. Each Curvy Birdie is finished with a UVB-protected topcoat, so it is ready to live outside if you choose. Hang it from a tree, a porch, or a garden hook, and it will hold up as outdoor garden decor.

What birds will use a Curvy Birdies birdhouse?

Curvy Birdies birdhouses are made for small garden birds. The exact birds will depend on the model and its entrance size — check the individual product page for that model, and place the birdhouse in a quiet, sheltered spot for the best chance of visitors.

What sizes are Curvy Birdies birdhouses?

Sizes vary by model. Check the product page for the model you are looking at for its size and details. Most Curvy Birdies birdhouses are in the $65 to $75 range, with the Blue floral engraved dome at $60.

How do I hang a birdhouse?

Hang a birdhouse from a sturdy tree branch, porch hook, or garden post, in a quiet spot out of direct, harsh wind. Keep it steady, not swinging wildly, and place it where you can enjoy watching it from a window or porch.

Are Curvy Birdies birdhouses a good gift?

Yes. Whimsical, hand-painted birdhouses are a popular gift for gardeners, bird lovers, housewarmings, and birthdays, because they are both garden art and a usable birdhouse. If you are buying for someone else, choose a style that matches their garden — bright and floral, rustic A-frame, or a crooked storybook house.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Curvy Birdies ships within the United States. If you are outside the US, contact the shop at curvybirdies@gmail.com before ordering.

Will my birdhouse look exactly like the photo?

No, not exactly — and that is intentional. Each birdhouse is hand-painted, so there will be small variances from the photos. The design, colors, and overall style will match the model you ordered.

How do I care for my birdhouse?

Keep it outdoors as intended, and bring it in or check it at the end of the season if you want to keep the paint looking its best. Do not use harsh cleaners on the painted surface — a gentle wipe is enough for most dust and dirt.
