| Not all birds will nest in a bird house. There are, however, a few birds, such as the Robins, Phoebes, Barn Swallows and Dove, that will appreciate a nesting shelf to raise their young. Phoebes that will nest on a shelf include: the Eastern Phoebe, the Black Phoebe, and the Says Phoebe. Made of Western Red Cedar, this shelf will last you for years. Nesting shelves can be placed under an eave or walkway overhang, or can be placed in a nearby tree. A clear seal is applied where the roof and back meet to keep water from entering nest site. We also have designed this shelf to keep shelf dry by having side wood panels protect the nest and a longer overhanging roof. A generous drainage hole is drilled in back center of nesting area to keep any water from standing should severe side rain enter. The nesting shelf has these added features to make this nesting box the best on the market for shelf nesting birds. Made in the U.S.A. by The Backyard Bird Company. |
