Wayside Shelter
An open nesting space for birds who avoid enclosures
- Perfect for birds who need shelter with one side open
- Great for protection from predators
- Keeps birds warm in the winter
- A favorite of robins, cardinals, phoebes and more
Most birds enjoy enclosed nest boxes with nothing but a small hole for exit and entry, but some varieties need at least one side to face the open air. Robins, cardinals, and phoebes are much happier when they can see out of their nesting and roosting arrangements. Our Wayside Shelter was designed especially for them, to provide shelf-nesting birds protection and warmth during the winter. The landing perch makes it easy for birds to make a quick entrance, while the efficient sloped roof resists snow accumulation and allows heat to build at the back of the shelter. Attach to a pole or tree facing south or east. If attaching to a building, be sure to place this shelter up near the eaves and out of prevailing winds. 6.5" high x 16.75" wide x 9" deep.
