The \u003cstrong\u003eBIRDLOVER Handcrafted Cedar Open-Front Nest Box\u003c\/strong\u003e is untreated cedar, arrives assembled, and has a hinged front door with a brass latch, so you can clear out the old nest at the end of the season in seconds. Starter cedar wood shavings and mounting screws are in the box.

Carolina Wrens often nest in half-open spots such as flowerpots and mailboxes, and the open upper front gives them that.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUntreated cedar:\u003c\/strong\u003e no paint, stain or preservative on the wood (per supplier), so there is nothing on the inside walls but cedar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHinged clean-out door:\u003c\/strong\u003e open the brass latch and the lower front swings open, so you can tip out the old nest.

Somewhere sheltered from driving rain, near shrubs or a hedge, suits the open front best. Because the front is open, House Sparrows can get in too: if they start building, remove their nest material, since they are a non-native species that competes with native birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs This an Owl Box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. At about 7 inches tall it is far smaller than an owl needs: NestWatch plans call for an 8 × 8 inch floor and a box 12 to 15 inches deep for screech owls, and saw-whet owls need a box 10 to 12 inches deep. This is a songbird-sized box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6\" × 6\" × 7\" (15.2 × 15.2 × 17.8 cm), per supplier\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.09 lb (0.95 kg), per supplier\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSolid cedar, untreated (per supplier)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOpen upper front · hinged lower door with brass latch · two wooden cleats on the door · slanted overhanging roof · back panel with mounting holes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAssembled nest box, starter cedar wood shavings, mounting screws\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCarolina Wren\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFree shipping · 30-day returns\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWant to see what moves in without opening the door?
