{"product_id":"sparrow-resistant-western-bluebird-nest-box-with-slot-entry","title":"Sparrow-Resistant Western Bluebird Nest Box with Slot Entry","description":"\u003cp\u003eProvide western bluebirds with a nesting space designed to help discourage sparrows with this Sparrow-Resistant Western Bluebird Nest Box. Instead of a traditional round entrance, the house uses a 5.25 x 1.25-inch slot opening that bluebirds can readily use while making the box less appealing to sparrows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn included 1.5-inch-thick pine block can be placed at the bottom of the house to reduce the interior depth when needed. The 0.75-inch-thick pine construction creates a sturdy shelter, while ventilation openings below the roof help regulate airflow inside the nesting area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe overhanging roof helps protect the interior from precipitation, and the rough wood surface gives nestlings extra grip as they move toward the exit. The front panel lifts upward for nest checks and maintenance and is secured with a metal latch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rear hanger allows the house to be mounted against a wall or post. It may also be pole mounted with a compatible mounting bracket, sold separately. The natural pine will gradually weather to a gray tone with outdoor exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntrance Size: 5.25 x 1.25 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 8.5 x 7 x 10.125 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Pine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood Thickness: 0.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable For: Western bluebirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntrance Style: Sparrow-resistant slot opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Depth Block: 1.5 in thick pine block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVentilation: Openings below the roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoof: Overhanging for weather protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior Surface: Rough wood for added nestling grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess: Lift-up front panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Metal latch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: Wall, post, or pole mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Feature: Attached rear hanger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePole Mounting: Requires a separate mounting bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathering: Natural pine develops a gray tone over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Coveside Conservation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67699482067112,"sku":"COV-10044-WEST-D","price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/1509\/3416\/files\/COV-10044-WEST_M_lg.jpg?v=1792471981","url":"https:\/\/www.treehelp.com\/products\/sparrow-resistant-western-bluebird-nest-box-with-slot-entry","provider":"TreeHelp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
