Birdhouses by Wildwood Products

Living in the Northwest we are blessed to be the home of many varieties of birds. It’s no wonder that this time of year we put our birdfeeders and birdhouses out in the hopes of bringing more of these feathered friends to our home. Arley Boyce, a retired Beaverton High School administrator, took it a step further and created a haven for his flying visitors.   

 

In late 80’s, Arley, along with his son Fritz Boyce, began designing and constructing numerous styles of houses and feeders. Thousands of houses and feeders later the two came up with a few designs that birds enjoyed using so much that they became a “must-have” for bird enthusiasts. What’s makes them so great? Wildwood Products were built out of driftwood and juniper. They use the wood’s character to create natural looking homes. Each home or feeder is a one of a kind and is truly a work of Nature’s art. The houses are built to the Audubon Society’s specifications and are fully functional. Each roof is removable, allowing the house to be cleaned for next season’s family to move in. The birdhouses are so beautiful that many are used as indoor decoration as well. 

 

Today, Fritz now runs the business.   Wildwood Products has now expanded the house and feeder line to include Squirrel houses and “Fancies” with a variety of woods used such as Lodgepole pine, and birch. If you are interested in hosting a family of birds this season you can find Wildwood Products at Al’s Garden Center in Woodburn and Sherwood.
