      You can order them from Amazon or purchase them at your local craft store. Depending on style and size they run from $1-$10. Here is an example on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wooden+birdhouse&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Awooden+birdhouse

    Great idea, Megan. My kids just finished painting some $.50 bird houses we got at a craft store. They’re just for decoration, but yours looks like the real deal!

    Adorable! I made a birdhouse once with my dad, and it’s still one of my favorite childhood memories.

    That is the most adorable bird house! I think it would make a great Christmas gift for a bird lover – so I’m pinning it to my homemade Christmas gift board. Thanks for sharing.

    This is great. I never thought about adding things to the bird house like this. I had my son paint some and put handprints on some but this is another great option.
