And best of all, each of these birdhouses is designed with Mother Earth in mind. Manufactured in the USA, paint and materials are safe for wildlife. These beautiful sanctuaries will help preserve our nation's flocks of migratory songbirds by giving them a safe place to call home. A "green" manufacturing process, including a "wood wise," low carbon system that allows the manufacturer to make use of board-end lumber--pieces too short to use to build homes for people, but perfect for feathered friends. By making use of only short-end 4-6 foot pieces of lumber (which would otherwise be chipped or burned), the manufacturer is able to put this kiln-dried, NHLA inspected and certified lumber to use.
Cypress wood not only has a beautiful grain and interesting color variations, it is also naturally rot and decay-resistant. Cypress trees are unique in that they are naturally regenerating. After a tree is harvested, the stump will generate a new sapling, and saplings can also sprout from roots of adult trees. This means cypress trees are less prone to over-cutting, but Heartwood bird houses are crafted only from cypress that has been harvested according to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) guidelines.
The same is true for mahogany bird houses. Wood that has been rejected by the furniture industry due to imperfections in grain or texture, makes beautiful birdhouses. Heartwood purchases salvage stock, which allows them to build the only mahogany birdhouses in the world, without cutting a single tree to do it. In addition, paints are 100% acrylic latex, completely non-toxic, and handcrafted in the USA. We even box shipments in over-runs made from post consumer fiber. Inside, you'll find shipped birdhouses packed in recyclable unprinted newsprint.
