Being a gardener and a birdlover, I was ver disappointed in the constrction of thIs birdhouse. The construction is cheaply done and clearly not smething that can be hung outside as it will fall apart and the thatching on the roof will get wet and come off. The entrance to the birdhouse is enormous and not something any bird could nest in and feel safe.  I was really hoping for something that didnt deliver. If you want a large birdhouse for decoration only indoors, this is for you.
