Western Bluebird House

Support local bluebird populations by adding this Coveside Western Bluebird House to your bird garden. This steadfast, pine domicile is sized a bit larger than traditional bluebird houses, perfectly accommodating western bluebirds. These birds are commonly found west of Colorado, ranging from Canada to Mexico, and prefer a slightly larger entry and shelter than their eastern relatives. A 1.5625” diameter entry hole allows these birds passage into the nest box, and an additional pine block in front of this opening prevents predators from reaching inward and stealing eggs. The sloping roof generously overhangs this entry, keeping precipitation away from the interior, and gaps in the corners of the base provide drainage for captured water. Dual gaps below the roof lip ensure the home remains nicely ventilated, furthered by the light tone of the 0.75” thick, pine board construction. The flat back and attached bracket make it easy to display this home against a tree, fence, or wall, or the base can accommodate a mounting plate (not included) for showcasing the unit on a pole in your garden. Periodically unlatch and lift the side panel for nest checks, or to tidy the home once the birds have left for the season. The significant size is wonderfully suited for western bluebirds, and the tan hue of the pine will age to a soft gray over time for a variable and striking finish. Shelter scarce bluebirds in your area in this Western Bluebird House. Made in the USA. Opening: 1.5625" dia. Dimensions: 9"L x 7"W x 12.5"H Mounting: wall or post mount Construction: pine
