🏡🐦

Four little Main Street birdhouses. One Kansas carpenter. The last 73.

Orval Kittredge, seventy-seven, built each design after a real building in his life in Council Grove, Kansas. His eyes can no longer follow the fine cuts, so these are the last houses he will make.

4 designsReal woodFully assembled90-day guarantee
Choose from 4 designs

Four designs, four different woods and finishes. Orval matched each one to the birds and the season it was built for.

The Feed Store birdhouse1
The Feed Store
His grandfather’s old shop: tall false front, covered porch, light natural pine.
🐦 Carolina & house wrens
Why this woodRaw, unpainted pine. Nothing but bare wood around the nest, no paint or stain, the way small cavity birds are safest.
In the boxBirdhouse, jute hanging cord
Size7.3 × 7.8 × 5.1 in
June’s Cottage birdhouse2
June’s Cottage
His late wife’s cottage: flower-ring door, gable roof, little picket fence.
🐦 Chickadees & titmice
Why this woodA pale, light finish that reflects strong sun, so the inside stays cooler for spring and summer nests.
In the boxBirdhouse, jute hanging cord, perch peg
Size7.1 × 5.1 × 6.1 in
The Supper Table feeding house3
The Supper Table
The corner diner: a long seed tray, two water cups and six little doorways.
🐦 Cardinals & goldfinches
Why this woodSealed, honey-stained wood that handles wet seed and spilled water every day and wipes clean in seconds.
In the boxFeeding house, 2 stainless steel cups
Size5.9 × 9.25 × 5.5 in
The Christmas House birdhouse4
The Christmas House
The family’s December house: twin roofs, snowflakes, Santa and a little tree.
🐦 Cardinals & juncos
Why this woodDark, flame-darkened wood that soaks up the low winter sun and makes a warmer shelter on cold mornings.
In the boxBirdhouse, jute hanging cord, mini tree
Size6.2 × 7.9 × 5.1 in
Pick one design — or mix and match up to four in one order and build your own little Main Street.

“In 2009 they tore down my grandfather’s feed store. I saved a stack of its boards and built a birdhouse that looked just like it. A pair of wrens moved in that May. I’ve been building them a town ever since.”

— Orval Kittredge, carpenter, Council Grove, Kansas

Built the way birds actually like it
🌧
Overhanging roofs
Every roof reaches past the walls, so rain runs off the edge and away from the door.
🐦
A porch to land on
Each house sits on a wide wooden base. Birds land, look around and step inside.
💧
Food and water together
The Supper Table pairs a seed tray with two steel cups that lift out to refill and rinse.
🪵
Real wood, ready to go
Wood boards, not particleboard. Fully assembled: three designs hang from a branch, the Supper Table mounts on the trunk.
Checked by an ornithologist

“Most cheap birdhouses fail on the basics: thin walls, no roof overhang, nowhere to land. A real-wood house with a deep roofline and a wide front ledge is simply more usable for wrens and chickadees. And fresh water next to seed is one of the best things you can do for cardinals in a dry summer.”

— Dr. Corliss Vandermeer, Ornithologist · Flint Hills Songbird Society

Who this is for
🐦 Wrens, chickadees & cardinals 🪟 Watching from the kitchen window 🏡 Porches, fences & gardens 🎄 Christmas presents 👵 Gifts for Mom, Dad or Grandma 🏘 Collecting the whole street

90 days, no questions

If it isn’t everything you hoped, one email to info@cedarandtinco.com within 90 days is enough. Orval would rather have it back than see it sit in a garage.

Please read before ordering

These are small houses for small songbirds, about 5 to 9 inches wide. The Supper Table has no hanging cord; it mounts flat against a tree trunk or post, or sits on a deck rail. Natural wood, so grain and color vary a little from piece to piece.

The Last Houses on the Shelf

A note from the workshop:

Orval Kittredge was a finish carpenter in Council Grove, Kansas, for 41 years. In 2009 the town tore down his grandfather’s old feed store, and he built a birdhouse out of its boards. A pair of wrens moved in that May. Since then he has built more than 2,600 houses in four designs, each one taken from a building in his own life. Two winters ago his right eye began to fail, and he can no longer do the fine cuts on the porches and windows. There are 73 finished houses left on the shelves of his workshop. When they are gone, there will not be more.

What Orval’s customers are saying

Happy customer with June's Cottage hanging in her maple

I am so happy with June’s Cottage. It is real wood and feels solid in your hands, nothing flimsy about it. Hung it in the maple out back on Saturday and a chickadee was already peeking in by Monday. Every time I look out the kitchen window it makes me smile.

The Feed Store hanging in an elm with a Carolina wren

Hung it from the old elm by the garden and within two weeks a pair of Carolina wrens moved in. They have been singing about it ever since and we love it. We had three hard rains and the inside stayed bone dry under that porch roof. Already thinking about getting the Christmas House too.

Clyde B., Salina, KS

Customer holding the Christmas House on her porch

Bought the Christmas House for my porch and ended up ordering two more for my granddaughters. The colors are just like the pictures and the little tree is on there good and solid. It came wrapped like a present. My pair of cardinals found it the first week.

The Supper Table on a deck rail with two cardinals

This is the view from my kitchen sink now. The cardinals come every single morning and the steel cups pull right out so I can rinse and refill them. It sits right on the deck rail outside my window and has not budged once. Best money I have spent on the yard.

Customer holding the Feed Store birdhouse in his garage

I ran a lathe for 38 years so I looked it over pretty hard. Square, tight, no glue globs, no staples sticking out. My wife thinks I bought it for the birds but I just liked the porch. It is going on the post by the mailbox.

June's Cottage hanging in a backyard maple with a chickadee

Got June’s Cottage after reading Orval’s story and I teared up a little. It hangs in our maple where the kids can see it from the trampoline. Chickadees have been visiting all week and the kids have named every single one. It came fast and was packed really well.
