These Coveside nesting wood chips provide the loose substrate that cavity-nesting wildlife relies on, since many species, from wood ducks to owls, do not build a traditional nest and instead lay directly on a bed of chips. The chips cushion eggs, hold warmth, and help with drainage inside a box.
Add a few inches to the floor of a new house before nesting season, or refresh the layer after you clean a box between broods. They pair naturally with Coveside owl houses, squirrel dens, and waterfowl boxes that are designed to be filled with substrate.
Coveside has been handcrafting bird and wildlife habitats in Maine for decades, and offers the substrate and accessories that round out a working nest box.
