Know before you buy
The 1.25-inch entry hole is specifically sized for small songbirds such as wrens, chickadees, nuthatches, and titmice. It is too small for larger birds like starlings or blue jays.
The back panel is designed to be removable. You can easily unscrew it to clear out old nesting materials and debris, ensuring a clean environment for the next brood.
Yes. While it comes with a wire hanging loop for trees or hooks, the base is designed to accommodate a separate mounting bracket if you prefer to display it on a post.
The house is constructed from durable wood intended for outdoor use. To extend its lifespan and maintain the finish, we recommend placing it in a sheltered spot or applying a clear, bird-safe exterior sealant if your area experiences heavy rainfall.
