5 great birdhouses for your yard

Those robins in your neighborhood will be living the good life

1. Sourgrassbuilt Sunset Modern ($330)

California artist Douglas Barnhard makes birdhouses inspired by such masters of midcentury modern architecture as Joseph Eichler and Frank Lloyd Wright. This sleek model features a rooftop planter for ­succulents. Buy it at Sourgrassbuilt.

2. Koehler Home Décor Biker Bar ($18)

Oregon-based Koehler specializes in cute, kitschy birdhouses: miniature schoolhouses, lighthouses, tiki huts, and much more. The company's biker bar features a pint-size motorcycle and a Route 66 highway sign. Buy it at Amazon.

3. Home Bazaar Wrension ($149)

A country mansion for wrens — and other small birds — this pine shelter with cedar shingles is built by a New York company that aspires to create the world's most beautiful birdhouses. All have a removable wall for easy cleaning. Buy it at Amazon.

4. Extreme Birdhouse (from $100)

Canadian carpenter John Looser builds massive bird mansions that can be up to 8 feet tall and contain fly-through tunnels and hundreds of rooms. The largest models sell for $5,000, but his offerings start small. Buy it at Extreme Birdhouse.

5. Byer of Maine Tumble Birdhouse ($40)

Looking for something simple? Finches and other small-cavity nesters will love this circular abode, made of mango wood and available in orange, blue, green, or purple. It has drainage holes and a hatch for cleaning. Buy it at Amazon.
