Hand Painted Orange Dried Mate Gourd Birdhouse from Peru, "Orange Floral Refuge"

Placing birdhouses in your garden or on your patio is not only ecological — it also brings beauty into your life. Peru's Percy Rojas transforms a dried mate gourd into a birdhouse both you and your feathered friends will love. He paints it by hand with blue blossoms on an orange background and gives it a crackled finish.
