These Sustainable Houses + Feeders Are for the Birds

Designer Ilse Bouwens hopes to guide and inspire people to make more sustainable choices through her work, beginning with a collection under the brand Heeej!. The bamboo bird series features contemporary birdhouses and bird feeder designs that are ready to provide our flying friends with food or a safe place to shelter and nest.

The Fly Inn is ready for new residents to move in this spring, Take a Bite serves up tasty birdseed or fatballs at mealtime, and Peanut holds a jar of speciality bird peanut butter (with no salt) for extra protein. There’s one model for each design that can be mounted on an exterior wall or tree and a second model that can be staked into the ground with a pole stand. All three can be used outdoors year round. And of course, they’re each made using strong, sustainable materials and are fully recyclable.
