Nice design but extremely heavy for hanging. Mine also had some cracking around the entrance hole and some of the surface has flaked away. I'm hoping the cracks won't continue to get worse.

No doubt that this birdhouse will last a lifetime, heavy, and durable. I was disappointed by its cosmetic appearance, some areas were not painted and had a not finished look for the price.

This is one of several Schwegler bird houses I have on my property. This is the second one of this model I purchased. Nuthatches use this particular style every year as will tree swallows. I like the fact that they last for years! Easy to clean too.

I love the bird house! I had wrens in it within a week or so of hanging it, and they raised three families last summer. Be warned - it weighs a ton - we call it a bird bunker. But it kept them safe and happy.

This bluebird house is solid! Our resident bluebird have been checking it out daily. We are hoping to have them in residence soon!

I have two of the 1 1/4 birdhouses for close to 10 years. I can see the baby's being fed from my kitchen window. I wouldn't spend money on anything else. I am purchasing another today for the side of my garage. They are very easy to maintain and add a love of nature feel to my landscape.

I'm not sure this is one of my favorites. It is very heavy and mine arrived with a large part of the paint scraped off the top. It looks like it opens for cleaning but am not sure. There were not instructions sent with it. No birds have been attracted to it yet.

The birds took to this box right away. The first year we had house sparrow who filled it with twigs, raised a clutch and were a bit nasty with the other birds in the yard. To discourage them, this year I put sawdust in the bottom of the box, hoping for black capped chickadee to be our new tenants. It worked, and literally the week the chickadees fledged another species, some warblers moved in. Time to add another Schwegler box for next year!

So glad I got 2 of these nicely built houses. Can hardly wait for warm weather to get them up. Love that they are easily cleaned and predator proof. Very good deal for the money.

I have one hanging from a tree from a hook and one wedged in the crotch of a tree...both have had residents, are easy to clean, and have not been bothered by our numerous squirrels. I highly recommend them!

Easy to hang & clean. Very solid & safe. Had a nuthatch family last year and am looking forward to seeing what happens this spring.

Although this house is intellectually constructed, for those of us w/o a post it is difficult to hang. I wish they would have had some kind of opening and a long hook that supports the weight to hang from a tree trunk.
