Colourful Novelty Birdhouse Ornament

This is a decorative object rather than a working birdhouse: a bird perched at the opening of a small house form, the whole thing cast as one piece in resin and finished in a single flat colour. At 26 x 23cm it is large enough to be the only ornament on a windowsill or a console table, and the silhouette is legible from across a room.

Nine colours are offered, which is generous for a piece this size and makes it easy to match to a scheme rather than work around one. White and black are the two that behave themselves in any room. Blue, dark blue and green are the calmest of the colours. Orange, yellow and pink are the ones to choose if the object is meant to be the focal point, and light green sits somewhere between the two groups.

Because it is cast rather than assembled, the detail on the bird and the roof stays crisp, and the resin gives it enough weight to sit securely without a fixing. It is intended for indoor display — shelf, mantel, windowsill, hallway console — rather than for the garden, as the finish is not weatherproof. Dust with a soft dry cloth and avoid solvents. It is a decorative object, not a toy, so place it on a stable surface out of reach of small children.
