When one of our product scouts left a garbled message talking about caravans and birds we thought he'd overdosed on Carry On films again. But then we saw the highly whimsical Caravan Birdhouse and it all made sense.

This brilliant rustic birdhouse is a great gift for all you nature lovers, Bill Oddie types 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 twee eyesores that instantly give your garden that old biddy look. And you wouldn't want that, would you?

No, what you want is this seriously ironic birdhouse shaped just like an old clapped out caravan. You know, the kind of thing you might see Bernard Bresslaw and Windsor Davies hanging out in circa '75.

The Caravan Birdhouse is guaranteed to attract attention, from both human and feathered friends, wherever you choose to hang it. Indeed, birds will love its shabby 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 tits (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 Caravan Birdhouse is built to withstand everything the elements can throw at it. And seeing as the humble caravan is enjoying a bit of a renaissance of late, it's guaranteed to get the neighbours talking and the wildlife squawking. Best of all, the warm, gooey feeling of satisfaction you'll feel when you discover a sweet ikkle birdie nesting in your Caravan Birdhouse beats fiddling with hi-tech gadgets and gizmos any day of the week. Well almost. Tweet!
