When one of our product scouts left a garbled message talking about trailers and birds we thought he'd been cruising Florida for dates again. But then we saw the highly whimsical Caravan Birdhouse and it all made sense.

This brilliant birdhouse is a great gift for all you nature lovers and full-on fans of ornithology, as it puts a humorous twist on a traditional garden accessory. But that wouldn't be hard because most birdhouses are hideously gaudy eyesores that instantly give your garden that old maid look. And you wouldn't want that, would you? No, what you want is this seriously ironic birdhouse shaped just like an old style camper trailer.

The Birdhouse Trailer is guaranteed to attract attention, from both human and feathered friends, wherever you choose to hang it. Indeed, birds will love its retro-tastic styling; even the entry hole is incorporated into the design. We've got one hanging out back here at Firebox Meadows and the birds adore it; believe us, you'll crack up when you see a couple of dickcissels (no laughing at the back) emerging through the little doorway of their new nesting place.

With its sturdy wooden casing and sheet metal roof, the Birdhouse Trailer is built to withstand everything the elements can throw at it. And seeing as the humble travel trailer is enjoying a bit of a renaissance of late, it's guaranteed to get the neighbors talking and the wildlife squawking.


Best of all, the warm, gooey feeling of satisfaction you'll feel when you discover a sweet itty bitty birdie nesting in your Birdhouse Trailer beats fiddling with hi-tech gadgets and gizmos any day of the week. Well almost. Tweet!
