This Coveside roost box is built for winter survival rather than spring nesting, with a low entry hole and stacked interior perches that let several small birds huddle together and share body heat. The thick Eastern white pine walls hold warmth in, and a slate predator guard at the opening keeps the entry secure.
Mount it on a post or tree trunk in a sheltered spot before the first hard freeze, with the hole facing away from prevailing wind. Wrens, chickadees, titmice, and nuthatches use it on the coldest nights, and the easy-clean side panel lets you clear it out between seasons.
Coveside has been handcrafting bird and wildlife habitats in Maine for decades, using sustainably sourced wood and time-tested designs trusted by backyard birders across the country.
