Nuthatch House

Invite acrobatic feathered friends to reside in your bird garden by placing this wonderful Coveside Nuthatch House in it. Nuthatches are short-tailed birds known for running down trees headfirst, and though they don't always acclimate to nesting boxes as easily as other birds, they will use boxes where natural cavities are lacking. This durable, appealing, natural pine shelter provides an ideal nesting locale for nuthatches in search a home, with its 0.75" thick pine wood providing insulation against cold and heat. A downward sloping roof overhangs the rustic unit to provide protection from rain and other outdoor elements, with ventilation slots at the top of the house aiding with temperature regulation and air flow to ensure the safest dwelling possible. Corner drainage holes on the base panel make sure the nesting area stays comfortably dry for a clean and safe flock, and the 1.25" diameter entrance hole makes it difficult for predators and threats to reach down to the nest. A coarse hewn finish on the pine allows fledglings to gain the grip necessary to exit the hole when ready, and a latch on the side panel enables you to easily open one side of the unit for regular nest checks and cleanings. The untouched finish of this house will acquire a weathered finish thanks to outdoor elements and repeated use, allowing you to watch the abode transform into a graceful gray tone for added beauty. A metal hanger at the top of the item and predrilled hole near the base offer variable placement options, for a lofty tree or post display in your bird haven.
