Offer birds a haven from harsh wind and snow with this handy Coveside Covered Platform Bird Shelter. This unit provides solace for local birds during months of inclement weather, or can act as a nest box for birds which prefer platforms, such as robins and phoebes. This helpful and convenient roost is constructed of aged New England pine to offer a unique and trusted item that will durably grace your landscaping as feathered friends brave the cold winter. An extended dowel on the front of the home offers ample perching for a wide variety of birds, while the long horizontal shape accommodates a plethora of avian visitors at once. The downward slanting roof overhangs the entrance for additional protection from unpleasant outdoor elements, while also providing proper drainage. A pair of predrilled holes on the back of the item allows you to easily mount it to a tree or wall for simple placement in your yard, or mount it to a post using a mounting bracket (not included) for variable display. The sturdy pine construction will prove reliable for several seasons, and will age to a striking gray color over time and with repeated exposure to the elements. Create a cold weather refuge while offering safe shelter to several local birds with this Covered Platform Bird Shelter. Made in the USA.
