Coveside Three Woodpecker House | Wooden Woodpecker Nesting Box

Coveside Three Woodpecker House

Invite flickers and woodpeckers to nest in your yard with the Coveside Three Woodpecker House. These elusive birds are well known cavity nesters, and readily roost in manmade homes. This classic, all pine abode is perfectly sized for red-headed, hairy, or red-bellied woodpeckers, with its deep body and 2. 25" diameter entry. A slate square is sourced from old Maine architecture, repurposed from recut slate roofing tiles, and surrounds this entry, preventing birds from enlarging it, while the roof slopes downward, overhanging it for a dry nest. Additional gaps in the corners of the base offer drainage, and one side panel swings upward to seasonally clean the roost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which birds will nest in this house?

It is designed for larger cavity nesters such as Northern Flickers and Red-bellied, Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers.

Why add wood shavings?

Woodpeckers excavate their own cavities and do not bring nesting material, so shavings give them a natural base for eggs.
