This Coveside nuthatch house is proportioned for red- and white-breasted nuthatches, with an entry hole and interior depth that fit the way these birds nest in tree cavities. The thick white pine walls hold a steady temperature, and the rough interior wall gives nestlings traction to climb toward the hole when they fledge.
Mount it on a tree trunk or post twelve to twenty feet up at a woodland edge, where nuthatches creep along bark hunting insects. The overhanging roof keeps rain out, and the side panel opens so you can clear the nest and ready the box for the next season.
Coveside has been handcrafting bird habitats in Maine for decades, using sustainably sourced wood and species-specific designs trusted by birders across the country.
