This Coveside wren house uses a deliberately small 0.75-inch entry hole that house wrens slip through easily but sparrows and starlings cannot, giving the tenants a competition-free cavity. The snug white pine interior matches the wren’s habit of filling a box with a bulky stack of twigs.
Hang it from a branch or bracket four to ten feet up near shrubs or a garden edge, where wrens forage and sing. The roof overhang sheds rain, and the side opens for cleaning out the dense twig nest once the season ends.
Coveside has been handcrafting bird habitats in Maine for decades, using sustainably sourced wood and proven cavity designs trusted by backyard birders nationwide.
