We have finally received the hard-to-get fabulous Bird Garglers from Colorado artist Doug Fey. We received 5 great garglers and now is the time to get the birdhouses out for brooding the little birdies! In stock now are the following choices: a troll/man, a bear, a red fox, a dog and a frog. If you're interested in checking them out, you should probably come in quickly as they sell fast and are hard for us to get in as they take so much time to hand build.All of Doug's ceramic birdhouses are individually handmade; no molds are used in their creation. By attending to each creature separately , he is free to explore variations and combinations of physical attributes and personality traits thereby imparting a unique character to each Bird Gargler.
Made of quality red earthenware clay, each completed Gargler is allowed to air dry and then fired to 2000°F. After cooling, glaze and colors are applied; the Garglers are fired again to 2200°F.
The completed Bird Garglers are quite durable and can remain installed outside throughout the year to provide all-season protection for the birds.
Each Gargler measures approximately 9"-12" from mouth to the back and about 8"-9" across. Dimensions will vary according to the particular style of Gargler.
