Droll Yankees, one of the most respected companies
designing birdfeeders, has now created nesting boxes.
These nesting boxes are some of the best-designed
boxes we have seen. The quality, construction and
attention to detail are outstanding. These boxes will
welcome and protect nesting birds and promote
higher fledge rates. The features include:.
- An extreme overhang to provide protection
from sun and rain
- Elongated entry hole to mimic a natural
entry hole or tree cavity
- Predator guard extends the distance a
predator has to reach into the box
- Side door opens downward for monitoring of
nest without worry of a nestling falling out
- Kerfs inside the front door to assist
fledglings departure from the nest
- Ventilation in the floor and eaves
- Roof blocks create convection currents to
keep box temperature stable
- 3/4'' pine construction for insulation and
breathability
- Rust resistant screws keep wood together
longer than staples or nails
- May be pole mounted
This box has been approved by the North American
Bluebird Society and can be used by Eastern Bluebird,
Western Bluebird, Carolina Wren, Yellow-Bellied
Sapsucker, Tree Swallow and Hairy Woodpecker.
(Other birds may use it also.) Comes with detailed
instructions and information about use and
placement. This nesting box will last a lifetime.
We also love the artistic touches that have
been added that make this not only a functional
nesting box, but also beautiful. Artwork is by
Marjolein Bastin and side door handle is a metal egg.
