Hello and welcome to River in the Woods, your home for cedar
bird houses.
This lot is for 8 Bluebird Houses.
All of our bird houses are made from 5/8” think cedar fence
pickets. Each house has a 15 degree
sloped roof to allow water to run off and holes in the bottom to allow any
water has entered to drain. Each house
also comes with a 3.5” screw that is plenty long enough to makes its way through
the roof, out the back and into a post or tree.
For the Bluebird, wren and chickadee houses, there is a small screw on
the bottom of the left side that will allow that side to hinge open for easy clean
out. Because they are made of cedar,
they will resist rot and decay without the use of sealant or paint. If you choose to seal or paint them, please
research the proper and safe way to do this as not to hurt the birds.
We have 4 different houses to choose from:
·
Bluebird
o
10” tall in the back, 8.25” tall in the front
and 6.75” from front to back. The entrance
hole in the front is 1.5” (1-1/2") in diameter, which will allow for a bluebird to
enter, as well as any smaller birds.
Please keep in mind that just because it is big enough for a bluebird,
that doesn’t mean the smaller birds won’t try to occupy it.
·
Wren
o
9” tall in the back, 7.75” tall in the front and
4.75” from front to back. The entrance
hole in the front is 1.25” (1-1/4") in diameter, which will allow for a wren to enter,
as well as any smaller birds, but too small to allow a bluebird or bigger bird
to enter.
·
Chickadee
o
Same dimensions as the wren house, however the
opening is only 1.125” (1-1/8") in diameter, allowing only the small birds to be able to
occupy.
·
Cardinal
o
9.75” tall in the back, 8” tall in the front and
6.75” from front to back. Cardinals will
not go into a hole, so the front of the house is open for our claustrophobic
feathered friends.
We have all houses available natural or scorched. The scorching will neither attract nor
distract birds from using them, it is simply cosmetic.
Please check our eBay store as we have many combinations
available.
If you have any questions, please ask before making a
purchase.
Thank you!
