Looking for a bid house as good looking as your own home? Check out the Multiholk bird box cottage.
Available in a range of colours, the Multiholk is a bird nesting box that also functions as a seed dispenser and bird table. They can dispense two kinds of bird food at the same time from the container inside and by inserting a bottom plate in the house you can turn the table into a nest when spring arrives. The nest is also ventilated to prevent chicks from overheating in summer and there are steps to climb on under the entrance as an aid for when they are fully fledged and need to get out.
Available online, you can pick one up for £34.99.
