Coveside Bufflehead Duck House | Wooden Wood Duck Nesting Box

Coveside Bufflehead Duck House

Help wood ducks raise their broods near your pond or wetland with the Coveside Bufflehead Duck House. These small but striking ducks feature dark colored heads with arresting white patches on the sides to set them apart as they seek shelter in this fantastic pine habitat. Cavity nesting ducks are frequently dependent on manmade housing for their roost, as they are unable to form cavities in trees like similar birds. This home, with its natural complexion and solid construction, offers an ideal respite for buffleheads in need of a safe home. A 3. 5" wide and 3" tall entryway lets these waterfowl access this helpful house while deterring larger predators, and a downward slanting roof overhangs the rest of the unit to prevent rain from penetrating the home.

Placement Tips

Mount the duck house 6 to 15 feet high on a pole or post at the edge of a pond, marsh or slow stream, with the entrance facing the water. Add a predator guard below the house and put 3 to 4 inches of wood shavings inside, since ducks do not carry in nesting material. Clean and replace shavings each winter before the nesting season.
