Thanks Gary, it is about six inches tall- the hole in front is 5/8". So, it is too small for real birds, more of a bughouse maybe.

It is finished with two coats of Doctor's Woodshop oil and wax non-toxic finish, applied on the lathe and friction polished.

I made a couple of these as gifts for my wife's family. The walnut was milled by my late Father-in-law.
