Birdhouses shouldn't be made of metal, because they overheat in the summer. It looks cool, but isn’t. Birdhouses shouldn’t be made of metal, because they overheat in the summer.

If you ever want a hand-cranked Amish ice cream machine, a Japanese Pen with a retractable nib, handmade soap with natural orange oils, a Bretonic pea jacket or lighting fixtures in the style of the 1920s, then Manufactum is it. Their catalogue is simply wonderful. Beautifully made and full of cool things, though often a bit pretentious. Also, expensive; usually worth it, though. They have a branch focusing in design stuff, furniture and quirky items like this. It’s a German mail order company specializing in high-quality old-fashioned products.

Put it somewhere in the shade and it should be fine. @2: it’s made from particle board with a metal cowling. Put it somewhere in the shade and it should be fine.

The only thing I would add is, that even the product description are often fun to read. It is the only mail order catalog I keep until the next comes out.

The guts had somehow been removed and a couple of birds moved right in. I always thought we should have tried to train them to swoop down on people as a form of biological security.

It's like a kind of old-fashioned Teutonic Muji. Their pen roll is particularly fine, as is its description. But, conspiracy time... I can't find the CCTV birdhouse in the UK store...

Very nice. And surprising, since the store is otherwise a rather expensive, upper class, high-quality affair for well-to-do pensioners with big gardens :D Both swiss and german, you can buy the birhouse at the .de shop as well.
