Natures Way Bird Products CWH4 Cedar Bluebird Kijkhuis

Deuxième avis car le premier n' à pas été publié.Trop cher pour un produit abîmé.

I already had a different brand of birdhouse and Eastern bluebirds took up residence there this spring. I was disappointed that I had no way to see interior progress (although now I understand that’s a good thing because peeking at a certain point can make the fledgling ms leave to too early.) Anyway… I read that birds may fight over a house if there is only one. So I purchased this one because of the good reviews and the option to see inside.I ordered this March 18 and installed it about a week later facing north. (My understanding is directional preference for bluebirds is east, north, south, west in that order.) Well… here we are April 5th and chickadees have moved in and set up house. The new house is full to the brim of nesting material and no- I didn’t remove the wire like some have — they had no issues with it.If you are new to bird housing, make sure to look up directional preferences of birds. My other house sat outside unoccupied for two years until I read about that. Now I have two, pointed the correct direction and both happily used. Also read up on incubation and fledgling periods for the species you house. You do not want to be peeking in during some critical time frames as it may make the fledglings leave early and put them at higher risk of predation.This is a pretty house and seems to be well made. Price was not crazy and there was zero assembly required. Only time will tell how long it will last but even one season of babies is cheaper than taking the family to the movies so I consider it money well-spent.

Really great birdhouse/nest box. It's well made of a nice quality wood. It has striations cut into the wood to help birds lead up to the exit portal, removable plexiglass viewing pane, mesh at bottom to allow liquid to slip under the nest, easily liftable door for cleaning. And looks nice too. The dimensions are very good. The entrance hole is 1.5" which would allow invasive House Sparrows to enter/nest (and potentially kill any native birds nesting inside), so I just added a slightly smaller portal protector of 1.25" (1-1/4") to allow chickadees, nuthatches and Downy Woodpeckers to enter. Some House Sparrows will enter a 1.25" hole, but it's less likely. I also added a 1.125" (1-1/8") portal protector to a second one of these boxes. Overall, really great product.

Bought 1 of these and so impressed with the quality, I bought another one. Nothing using them yet but they have had Blue Tits and Starlings checking them out.Very happy

House was delivered very quickly. This is the 2nd bird house purchased from Nature's Way. Sturdy, easy to clean out previous year's nest and has a site window you can open on the side of the house. Not sure I would want to do that once the birds have moved in though. Black paint on the roof rubbed off on the edges in shipping. Don't thing the birds care though. Would purchase again.I mounted the bird house on a 2X4 and screwed the 2X4 to the fence post so that it is a bit higher to try and prevent other animals such as squirrels and cats from getting at it. But, where there's a will there's a way.
