Know before you buy
With a 1.25-inch entry hole, this birdhouse is ideal for smaller cavity-nesting birds such as wrens, chickadees, nuthatches, and titmice.
This model is designed for post mounting. Please note that it does not come with a mounting bracket or pole, so you will need to purchase a separate mounting plate to secure it to your post.
Yes, the back panel is designed to be easily removed. This allows you to perform quick nest checks and clear out old nesting material to keep the environment healthy for future residents.
The house features drainage holes in the base to prevent water buildup and a ventilation gap at the top of the back panel to promote airflow. Additionally, the deep interior design helps keep nestlings sheltered from wind and rain.
The 1.25-inch holes are sized to keep larger predators out, and the interior includes screening beneath the holes to help fledglings grip the wood and exit the nest safely.
While the cedar shingles and wooden construction are durable, it is recommended to clean the house out after the nesting season. If you live in an area with harsh winters, storing it indoors can help extend the life of the paint and wood finish.
