Beautifully Designed Tiny Houses… For Birds
Can’t make the leap into tiny house life yourself? Maybe it’s best left for the birds. Portland, ME artist Jada Fitch has woven her love for art, feathered folks, and stylish architecture into a series of impeccably appointed bird feeders.
Fitch’s artwork ranges from delicate realistic paintings of favored species to minute furniture design, and into DIY flat packing. All of the bird feeders feature a central benefit: you can stick them to the outside of your window and watch the feasting firsthand.
One range of tiny houses is handmade and painted wood, styled after bungalows. They come with bright paint jobs, fun flooring, and stunning miniature portraits of other birds painted inside the home.
These are a far cry from the boring Scout project boxes I built as a kid, with the added tragicomedy of being fancier than any house I’ve lived in this decade.
Her other birdhouse design (previously available on Etsy as recently as April) is a flat packing corrugated plastic house with pop-up furniture. The print has a stylish midcentury feel, and the cutout flowers and grandfather clock will remind these tiny dinosaurs that they’re avian royalty.
Reviews for the feeders report that the suction cup design holds well, even in high winds, and the peeping tom appeal is great. Slightly less dramatic than a soap opera but ideal for watching while listening to your NPR stories. Just don’t forget that the glass works both ways.
