Found: The Cutest Gingerbread House Birds Can Actually Snack On This Winter
A festive winter birdhouse
Many birds fly south during colder months, but those that remain may appreciate a little holiday cheer. A decorative birdhouse can brighten a yard and offer passing birds a quick treat.
The cottage-like design features a gingerbread motif without an overt Christmas figure, so it may not look out of place after the holiday. It can stay outdoors for a few weeks beyond Christmas.
Nuts and seeds outside
The birdhouse is covered in nuts and seeds, making its exterior edible for birds. The seed-covered surface also gives it a textured appearance. The design combines decoration with food for local birds. The birdhouse may help reduce spending on bird food during the holiday season.
