Add a lasting shelter for bluebirds west of the Rocky Mountains with this Coveside Western Bluebird House with Extra Large Roof. These birds, ranging from Canada to Mexico, tend to prefer larger homes than their eastern counterparts, and this sizable pine unit perfectly meets this need. Its generous, oversized roof keeps the interior chamber protected from rain and snow, as its slightly curved edges and extra lip direct precipitation away from the roost. A 1.5625" diameter opening surrounded by a wooden predator guard allows mountain and western bluebirds to enter the home while deterring mammals from reaching in and stealing eggs. Fledglings can readily reach the exit to leave the nest box when ready thanks to a ladder on the inside of the front panel, and gaps in each base corner ensure the cavity remains dry. Additional gaps below the large roof overhang offer ventilation, furthered by the 0.75" thick pine boards and their light coloration. Over time, these sustainably sourced panels will age to a striking gray hue, and an attached back hanger makes placement on a post, tree, or wall simple. Use a mounting bracket (not included) on the base for a different display option, and lift one latched side panel to perform nest checks and periodic maintenance. Place this Western Bluebird House with Extra Large Roof to your bird garden for a bold and classic domicile for select songbirds. Some assembly required. Made in the USA.
