Kab has this at her house and I love to sit and watch it while we hang out! The Nature Anywhere Transparent Birdhouse is made of clear acrylic and attaches to the window so your friends and family can watch them do all the bird things birds do, right from the comfort of their new home. You could see them build nests and, if you’re super lucky, you might get to watch a Mama bird and her baby birds one day! But even if you simply set it up as a bird feeder like in the photo, it’s pretty amazing to watch birds fly in, eat, and fly out.
