Box of Birdhouse Gourds

When you make you own gourd birdhouses not only do you get lovely artwork for your yard, you also provide birds in need with a safe place to raise their young.

Some species of birds have declined in numbers by over 90 percent in the last 60 years. The lack of proper nesting areas is currently one of the biggest problems they face. You can help by making your own gourd Birdhouses!

It has been shown birds are more likely to inhabit a real gourd rather than a plastic, wooden or aluminum birdhouse. It is highly recommended that you make your birdhouse from an organically grown gourd.

Gourds grown using pesticides and chemicals can actually absorb those chemicals into the gourd wall and potentially cause harm to the birds that nest in them.

The Welburn Gourd Farm grows all their gourds organically and uses no harmful pesticides or fertilizers, so you can be sure you and your birds will have a safe gourd experience.

In addition, gourds are naturally temperature controlled so the inside stays warmer in cool weather and cooler in hot weather, which may be why birds prefer them over man-made birdhouses.

Now is the perfect time to create your gourd birdhouses so they'll be ready for nesting season....and when you order a box of Craft-Ready Birdhouse Gourds now, you'll also receive the DVD, "Fun and Easy Gourd Birdhouses," with Mary Gehley, as a FREE Gift!
