We’ve been admiring a collection of warm birdhouses for cold weather, offered by Dille & Kamille, Belgium’s version of a hardware store (translation: a shop where everything is beautiful as well as being utilitarian).

Above: The Apple Cottage is a bird feeder that requires an apple but no seeds; €4.95. To vary birds’ diet, consider a Bread Bird Feeder ($7.49 from Backyard Gardener).

Above: A Birdhouse for Great Tits also offers refuge to pied flycatchers and pimpelmeesjes is €12.50; hang it in a shady spot and out of the reach of the neighborhood cats.
