These Fair Trade beauties are handcrafted by talented artists in Peru. The patterns are hand-etched with thoughtfully applied burned areas to highlight the designs. Each has a 1.25 inch opening, perfect for small birds like nuthatches, wrens, and bluebirds. The interior has a drainage hole in the bottom and the exterior is coated with a protective varnish.
Size Approximately 8-10in H x 4-5in W. Exact size, shape, color and details will vary as nature and artist intended - they are made by hand in small batches, revealing the creativity of each maker.
Maintenance To extend the life of this natural gourd, hang it in a well ventilated and dry area. Make sure to clear out old nesting material for each year's next resident.
Note Due to their handmade nature and the variability in their shape, no two pieces will look the same. You are getting a delightful surprise with each purchase. Our staff will fulfill your order with the color you choose, but the shape may vary widely from what is shown in the images.
