Three Woodpecker House

Celebrate woodpeckers and provide them a lasting home by placing this Coveside Three Woodpecker House in your bird sanctuary. These elusive birds are well known cavity nesters, and readily roost in manmade homes. This classic, all pine Woodpecker House is perfectly sized for red-headed, hairy, or red-bellied woodpeckers, with its deep body and 2.25" diameter entry. A slate square is sourced from old Maine architecture, repurposed from recut slate roofing tiles, and surrounds this entry, preventing birds from enlarging it, while the roof slopes downward, overhanging it for a dry nest. Additional gaps in the corners of the base offer drainage, and one side panel swings upward to seasonally clean the roost. Its natural, yellowish hue and top gaps prevent nestlings from overheating, and a metal hanger on the back aids in mounting the home. As woodpeckers regularly excavate cavities in decaying trees, the nest box also includes a generous bag of wood shavings to better attract these birds and encourage their natural tendencies. The roughened interior of the roost aids nestlings in reaching the exit when ready, and its 0.75" thick, pine wood construction fantastically insulates the cavity. Encourage small woodpecker species to nest near you with this Three Woodpecker House. Made in the USA.
