Graham and Michele Kinsman love birds and gardening every bit as much as I do, so I have more than passing interest in their Kinsman Company mail-order catalog. Last week, the green-roofed birdhouse pictured above caught my eye. Most birds are done nesting for the season by now, but you should still get one of these.
When you order, you'll get an unplanted birdhouse like the one shown below. Put in some potting mix, plant with grass, succulents, or whatever else comes to mind, and when mating season rolls around next spring you’ll have an abode that no environmentally conscious bird would pass up.
To learn how to make a green-roof bird feeder, go to Sunset.com.
