Birdbottle
This unusual bird nesting bottle goes back to 18th century colonial America. While excavating the site of John Geddy's home in Williamsburg, Virginia this cylindrical clay nesting house was found. In the 18th century these bird nesting bottles were used to encourage birds such as martins, flycatchers, swallows and wrens; whose diets consisted of flying insects like mosquitoes to nest and feed in public areas like tavern yards.The bird nesting bottles, which a large nail supports, were hung under the eaves of buildings or on the trunk of a tree. We glaze the bird nesting bottles both inside and out to make them waterproof and well insulated. The bottles should be taken down in late Fall to be cleaned and stored till the following spring.
