Since birds haven't shown much appreciation for literature, these imaginative birdhouses will do much better decorating the inside of your house than serving as theirs. Designer Dave Vissat stumbled upon this idea when he was making a birdhouse for his mother. He ran out of wood, so he resorted to using an old book as a roof. Then he began incorporating interesting text and illustrations as well.
Now, Vissat searches and scavenges flea markets and libraries for discarded and vintage books, then he scans the cover, makes a print and affixes it to the exterior of the house.
These ornamental wooden houses use books and imagery from classical and popular literature to capture a past era in American culture. The classic classic To Kill A Mockingbird house, features a twig perch, Gregory Peck movie poster and excerpts of the story as siding. Made in Pennsylvania. For indoor use only.

I love the regular reminder of one of my all-time favorite books! The birdhouse is sturdy and bright, and looks great on my bookshelf. I'm reluctant to leave it outside, but the neighborhood pigeons probably wouldn't fit anyhow.

This is a high quality piece - I bought it as a gift for a retired English professor, and she loves it! She has hung the birdhouse in her backyard and it serves as a great conversation piece when she has dinner parties. It catches the eye right away, and it's intriguing - everyone loves the book it's based upon, and everyone loves the birdhouse. Gets people talking!

I have ordered many things from Uncommon, unfortunately all for gifts to other people and have loved each and every one. But this birdhouse is so clever and whimsical and before it's over I'll probably splurge and get one for myself. I just love it.

It is the perfect gift for my cousin, who is an avid reader and considers "To Kill a Mockingbird" one of her all time favorite books. She is also an avid gardener and has converted her yard into a haven for all creatures. Uncommon Goods is a great source if you are looking for a fun, interesting, "Wherever did you find THIS?!" gift.
