A birdhouse is also folk art! ....
A bird house is not just a dwelling for birds, it can also be a prized piece of folk art that adorns your front yard or back garden. If you want to buy a birdhouse online, make sure it is functional as well as attractive. When is a bird house more than just a shack and a piece of art? A bird house that qualifies as a piece of folk art is usually one that is painted. A good example of this kind of kitsch is the birdhouse that resembles the little white cottage with a picket fence. Sometimes these types of bird houses have roofs with slats or singles or copper roofs. The traditional folk art bird house is usually made of wood. However when you buy a birdhouse online you will notice that many hobbyists and enthusiasts (and some architects as well) are creating kitsch designs out of metal and plastic. Most bird houses that qualify as folk art are made of wood and fixed up to look like little college dorms, mansions and hotels. There are excellent places online to find examples of both contemporary and traditional folk art. Check the vendors below to find a bird house to meet your needs.
