Bring a little theatre to a quiet corner of the garden with a hand-carved Jempinis wood bird house, made for visiting birds and for the pleasure of looking out at something with character. The natural trunk form keeps its bark-like outer texture, while the owl face is carved into the front with wide eyes, layered feathers and a dark round entrance below.
What it brings to the garden
The carved owl face gives it the feel of a small woodland sentinel, watchful without being cutesy.

Place it in a calm, sheltered spot where birds can approach without constant disturbance. Different wild birds choose nesting places by entrance size, height, cover and local habitat, so it is best treated as an inviting bird house rather than a guaranteed home for a particular species.
Placement and care outdoors
Keep it away from very exposed wind and heavy weather where you can. Natural wood and seagrass will change with outdoor conditions, softening in colour and taking on more patina over time. If it needs tidying, brush away loose dirt gently and allow it to dry naturally.
