Birdhouses and bat houses...

We travel down to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island, Massachusetts a few times a year. It's home to nearly 300 species of birds, insects, amphibians, reptiles mammals and other wildlife. Visiting one of the East Coast's most prolific bird watching areas motivated us to find birdhouses and other wildlife habitats that are unique, functional and well-made. Our research led us to a small company on the Maine coast that specializes in the handcrafting of wooden bird and bat houses that have the correct dimensions, ventilation and drainage for specific species.

Sparrow-resistant Bluebird House
This Kentucky style, slot entrance, species specific bluebird house is designed to thwart sparrows. Bluebirds prefer a slot entrance to the standard circular hole; sparrows prefer the opposite. In addition, sparrows don't like a shallow box while bluebirds don't seem to mind. The box is only 5" deep inside, but if sparrows continue to be a problem, a wooden insert is included to reduce the depth even more. Made from eastern white pine that can be left natural or finished with linseed oil. Outside dimensions: 10"h x 6-1/4"w x 8-1/2"d. $35.00 plus $7.50 for shipping. Will be shipped within 3-4 business days.
