House Finches use this nest box. Chickadees, Nuthatches, Titmice, Wrens, Tree and Violet Green Swallows may also use it. House Sparrows and Starlings are attracted to bird houses with entrance holes of the size in this model.
The House Finch nest box is constructed with Red Cedar. Wood stock is rough-cut on both sides so birds can grip interior and exterior surfaces.
It has a 6" by 6" floor, 6" inside ceiling, 2" diameter entrance hole located 4 1/2" above the floor and ventilation openings in the floor and under the roof. The hinged roof provides easy access for monitoring and cleaning. Shutter hooks secure roof in closed position. Pilot holes in both primary and secondary work pieces makes for easy assembly in minutes.
House Finches like bird houses mounted just out of reach on a post in the middle of a yard clear of trees or buildings. City backyards are good spots.
Safety First
Assemble woodworking projects in a safe area.on a work bench at a height between waist and chest. Wear eye protection. Eye injuries are the most common assembly mishap. Keep hardware and tools away from children.and infants; store away when not in use.
