    Cute, easy to hang, but the birds prefer to build their own nests in the trees.

    The roosting pockets look great in my curly willow hedge. They are light enough for most any branch. So natural, I love them!

    Comments about Roosting Pocket Village:

    While these looked really cute hanging in my yard, I didn't see a single bird go in one. The entry holes on two of the houses seemed too small for most of the songbirds I have in this area. I would recommend that you buy or build a good basic wooden birdhouse instead.

    We had birds nest in two of the three of the pockets we hung. The third may just be in a bad location so moving it next year may help.

    The bird houses look great even after a Colorado winter. They add a nice natural yet practical touch to the backyard. They have withstood high winds, hard rains, and even squirrel inspections.

    I originally bought them for their advertised purpose...little nesting village. But when I received them, I just couldn't put them outside! They're too cute! So, instead, they decorate my sunroom.

    Roosting and Birthing

    Best Uses:

    Describe Yourself:
    Picky, Practical
    Bottom Line:
    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Roosting Pocket Village:

    I have not found a thing about the Bird Pockets that I don't like. The birds love the natural materials. I have two of them up under the eves of my barn shaped shed that give a lot of shelter. The chickadees and wrens, in paticular, use them in the winter and bad weather to roost and in the spring and early summer to nest. It is so much fun watching mama bird go in and out to feed the baby birds and a real joy to watch the babies make their first flights. This is a product that is well worth the money for my pleasure and the comfort for the birds.

    Comments about Roosting Pocket Village:

    The pockets look attractive hanging in the trees, but the birds evidently don't think so. At least they ignore them. I am finding the one of the pockets is coming unraveled. I would recommend the pockets, but with a suggestion that they be placed in a secluded area.

    Comments about Roosting Pocket Village:

    I threw one away, hung the other 2 in a patio tree. Holes too small for anything to get in. They were not as shown in photo.
