Attract Barn and Cliff Swallows

The BetterBirds' nesting ledge is designed to attract barn swallows.  Cliff Swallows don't usually nest near people, but on occasion may use the nesting ledge.

Solid Western Red Cedar Construction

BetterBird's Nesting Ledge is constructed with Premium Western Red Cedar. Western Red Cedar has excellent insulating properties, is naturally durable, and is resistant to moisture, decay and insect damage. It has a pleasant and unmistakeable aroma.  Unfinished cedar has a richly textured grain with colors ranging from mellow ambers, reddish cinnamons and rich sienna browns, making each birdhouse unique and one of a kind.

Designed Specifically for Barn and Cliff Swallows

All of BetterBird's products are designed for certain bird types. This Barn Swallow Ledge is 8" wide with a 2" ledge. It is 8" high with an open front, and partially opened sides.  The gable ceiling peaks at 10" and it has an open front with partial sides.

Where To Hang The Nesting Ledge

Mount this platform on the side of your garage or shed and hang it seven to twelve feet above the ground.  Ensure that the location is protected from the elements and predators, and has a good balance of sunlight and shade. 

Protect the Birds' Eggs and Locate the Nesting Ledge Away From Predators

Protect the birds' eggs and do not mount in a tree as predators could invade the nest.  Do not provide access to the nest with objects that cats, racoons and squirrels can climb.

Build to Last

BetterBirds' Nesting Ledge is assembled using screws to keep it strong.  With the solid construction and Premium Western Red Cedar, BetterBirds' nesting ledges are constructed to last for years! 

Each Nesting Platform is Unique

Please note that when you order a hand crafted Western Red Cedar product from BetterBirds.com, the product that you receive will be unique. The wood grain will differ from the picture on our website, as cedar is a natural organic product and no two pieces are the same. Variations in the wood color, grain, knots and texture will occur on each product. We do not consider these differences to be defects as they are natural occurrences in the wood grain which can be quite beautiful!
