Made of recycled High-density polyethylene (HDPE), the Cube and Pitch Bird Houses from Room & Board add color outside, while welcoming birds (and possibly squirrels).

HDPE is a great green material, especially for outdoor use. It is made from post-consumer plastic products, including milk jugs so it's a creative re-use of potential waste-and it stands up to harsh weather, thanks to its non-porous, waterproof qualities.

Available in nine colors, Cube Bird House and Pitch Bird House also have the added benefit of bringing modern style to an object that's often mired in bad design.
