The Grist Mill is an unassuming little family birdfeeder restaurant is perfect for mom & pop entrepreneurs. It features inset stained glass windows and has just enough glitter to catch a bird’s eye and more than enough space to fill with wild bird seed and grain for a tempting feathered spread.
The Red Barn is a spacious little starter home = perfect for the traditionalist! The exterior is a cheery bright, bright red with bright white trim. The roof is chocolate brown and the neighbor’s a very pleasant pheasant who’s there, waiting to welcome you home!

Fleur de Tile is a cheery creamy yellow house on a grass green base that comes complete with an inviting little perch. The roof and foundation are green-veined white fused glass artist tiles. The green fleur-de-lis, French “lily flowers” add a welcoming note of royalty!

Sales are a cinch at the Tiki Bar! The floor is crushed shell, the seats are capped with glass beads, and the bar is glass tile. If you look close, you’ll even see that there are glass bead lanterns hung from the roof of the hut!
Poker Flats Outhouse is an inspired little design where a colorful joker welcomes you in to an authentic one-hole-er that is covered with all kinds of flushes. There’s even a royal flush waiting for you on the roof! What more could any gambler want?
Inspired by Dr Seuss, this WhoVille Villa is a little charmer and was designed by an artist who declares that she “doesn’t like birds”! Note the careful camouflaging of the entry way! If you want a beautiful house, but don’t want to have to put up with messy neighbors, this place is for you!
School House Rocks is a sky-blue 3-door birdhouse complete with a purple crushed glass roof. The grass-green crushed lawn hosts a garden of lavender and blue glass flowers. Place this beauty on your bedside table and you’ll be able to hear the glee club choir practicing in your dreams.
Halloween House, designed by our youngest artist, a 10-year old thespian, is perfect for nocturnal birds – and bats! The spooky, ooky look, reminiscent of the Adams Family, was achieved with the liberal application of jet-black and purple glitter glaze. But the magic here, isn’t black – it’s love, creativity, and imagination!
Home Tweet Home is covered in sweet treats. The walls are red & black Licorice Bites. The roof is made of colorful Licorice Snaps. The trim is made of Good & Plenty and Gumdrops. If you’ve got movie-goers in you house, be sure to keep this beauty out of reach!

Forest Home is a monochromatic delight that blends perfectly into any forest scene! The grass-green walls are artfully streaked with a taste of forest green that is repeated in the roof trim and on the foundation. The sprinkled sand roof offers a gritty perch – perfect for little bird feet.
These Colorful Condominiums, with their white picket fences, and wood bead shingles and sand grout, welcome feathered friends with words of insight on each metal-ringed door. Strength, passion, imagine, discipline? What more could any feathered-friend, or creative-minded human, want for himself and/or his neighbors?
Did you know that dragons guard treasures? This night-black birdhouse, decorated with silver is a Heavy Metal birdman’s dream home. It even comes with a built-in security system that breaths fire and controls the weather. Make sure you knock politely before entering – there’s another guardian inside!
This elegant Spring Tea House is covered with stenciled flowers to soften the landscape and decorated with shiny bits of jewels and reflective mirrors that will catch any new-bride bird’s eye! The white roof is perfect for reflecting heat away from the chicks.
This bird apartment is fashioned after the Colonial style of homes found in Philadelphia, PA and Williamsburg, VI. Sparrows, aka Tzippor-dror (Hebrew for “liberty bird”), are especially fond of this kind of sturdy, quiet, unassuming housing and will flock to your neighborhood for the chance to check it out.
Vietnamese for “thanks”, this delightful bamboo covered hut, called Cảm ơn, is the perfect “come on in” invitation to one of our most spectacularly colored birds – the painted bunting! This glittering, orange embellished home is a rare treat for the bunting, who needs dense brush to brood.
The Emperor’s Palace is more than just a home – it’s and estate, complete with servant’s quarters! Glass tiles line the roadway. Flowers bloom in the gardens. A nightingale stands guard at the jeweled gate. This is, indeed, the crown jewel of our collection!
Inspiration Cottage’s dark purple walls and bright red roof are all decked out with red jewels that welcome you right through the front door. But there’s a more here than meets the eye – each wall carries a subtle message that inspires the mind and adds treasure to the soul!
This Painted Lady is willing to move from San Francisco if the price is right! She’s an elegant blue Victorian trimmed in a bold yellow. A glass perch welcomes you downstairs, while 4 of the happiest bluebirds you’ll ever find point the way to the upstairs apartment, which, as you see, is already rented!
Looking for serenity? Log Cabin ReTweet is a hand-stained building with a spacious interior for the baby chicks and a sheltered porch-perch for mom & pop. The flowered vines add a bit of elegant whimsy to the roof and walls of this rustic home in its natural setting.

Hobbit Hut Hideaway is the perfect beach home. The crushed shell roof and wood-bead walls and sand grout provide protection from the damp, salty seas. The stained driftwood door adds a green element to this eco-friendly home, perched on a pink sand beach. (Even Hobbits have to get away!)
