Our Nostalgia for Log Cabins 

The log cabin holds a special place in the history and hearts of the US. These log homes take us back to a time that in retrospect seems full of romance and adventure, although the reality probably was not quite so nice. In spite of that Americans love log cabins, and one of the easiest ways to get one in your yard is in the form of a log cabin bird house.

Types of Log Cabin Homes 

There are log cabin birdhouses in a variety of styles. You can find some that are quite simple, resembling a single room cabin. From there you can go up in size to some that look more like a mansion than a cabin. And there are some to fit almost anyone's budget. Some are less than ten dollars.

Some of todays log cabin birdhouses are actually made from bamboo. Bamboo bird houses look like traditional log cabins, and you may not even be able to identify one by looking, but have the advantage of being made from a sustainable resource like bamboo.

The History of Log Cabins 

Log cabins were built from logs cut from the surrounding forests and then were laid horizontally. The logs were notched and interlocked, although sometimes they were simply spiked together to secure them. The gaps in between the logs was often filled with mud or grass to weatherproof it, but you won't typically find that on bird houses ;-)

US Presidents and Log Cabins
