Handmade Chalet-Style Birdhouse in Felted Wool

This handcrafted felt birdhouse offers both natural beauty and a safe shelter for small birds like wrens, chickadees, and nuthatches.

Ethically made in Nepal from 100% natural wool and dyed with non-toxic, azo-free colors, it’s designed to function as a real birdhouse—not just decoration. The naturally water-repellent wool helps keep the interior dry, while a sturdy crocheted jute cord and hand-carved bamboo perch provide easy hanging and a welcoming entry. Birds may even tug bits of wool for nesting material, adding to its role in the ecosystem.
