Handmade Felt Chalet Birdhouse – Sustainable Wool
Handmade Felt Chalet Birdhouse – Sustainable Wool
Origin: Nepal
This handmade felt birdhouse adds charm to any garden while providing a cozy shelter for small birds like wrens, nuthatches, and chickadees. Crafted in Nepal using 100% natural wool and non-toxic, azo-free dyes, this eco-friendly birdhouse is both functional and decorative. The naturally water-repellent wool ensures that moisture from dew, rain, or snow quickly dries, keeping the interior comfortable. A crocheted jute hanging cord and a hand-carved bamboo perch make installation effortless. Birds may also pull small fibers from the wool to use in their own nests, enhancing its role in nature.
