This Coveside open-front birdhouse skips the small round hole in favor of a wide, ledge-style opening that suits robins, phoebes, and barn swallows, which avoid fully enclosed boxes. The deep pine floor and partial front keep eggs and nestlings protected while still giving parents the open access they instinctively look for.
Mount it under an eave, on a porch beam, or against a shed wall about six to fifteen feet up, where ledge-nesters naturally settle. The roof overhang sheds rain, and the open design makes it simple to check on a nest or clean out old material at the end of the season.
Coveside has been handcrafting bird habitats in Maine for decades, using sustainably sourced wood and proven nesting designs trusted by backyard birders nationwide.
