Cedar Construction

The American Robin  This birdhouse is constructed with Cedar. 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.  These features make each birdhouse unique and one of a kind. 

Designed Specifically Platform Nesters

All of BetterBird's products are designed for certain bird types.  This product is designed specifically for platform nesters. The base is 8-3/4" x 8-3/4".  The ceiling is approximately 8", and it has an open front with partial sides.  The gabled roof peaks at 10", this allows extra head room for doves, as they are larger than other platform nesters. 

Where To Hang The Birdhouse

Mount this platform on the side of your house or shed and hang it 7 to 14 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

Do your best to 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.

Easy to Clean

When it comes time to clean it out, simply sweep off the platform.

Beautiful Appearance  

The natural cedar provides for a beautiful appearance to blend into any environment.
 
Built to Last

BetterBird's nesting platform is assembled using screws to keep it strong.  With the solid construction and use of cedar, it is constructed to last for years!

Each Product is Unique

Please note that when you order a hand crafted 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!
