The bird house not only looks really great, it is also well thought out. The feed is introduced through the chimney so that the house itself is no food around. This makes the food stays fresh and clean. The included stand is sturdy and fits optically very well to the birdhouse. It only has the base with the aviary are connected and you've got a really nice (and cats reasonably safe) feeding ground for birds. Since I have set up the aviary, we have a lot of you in our garden. Even green and spotted woodpeckers visit us regularly.
