Unique Hay Barn Birdhouse - Handmade in Cedar

Made by a Washington Crafter.

This hay barn birdhouse has a old hay barn appearance, including side loafing sheds, simulated wood boards, corral fence, loft door (bird entrance), hitching rails and barn doors.

This hay barn birdhouse comes plumbed with three drains and three natural air conditioners (vents), one directly across from the bird entrance hole and one on each side under the roof 1/2" wide by 5" long. It is insulated with 7/8" cedar to also reduce heat inside or warmer on those cold days.

Like all our barn birdhouses it has a raised nesting floor to prevent the potential of water seeping in under the bird house into the nesting area.

By removing three screws on the bottom you can take the bird house off for a complete spring cleaning.

The covered corrals, loafing sheds, provides shelter in two directions for fatherbird when motherbird is on the nest during one of those rainy days.

Width 13.25"
Nest Area 5" x 5"
Depth 11.75"

This hay barn birdhouse is designed and best suited for Bluebirds,
however, we have had Swallows, Wrens and Nuthatch renters.
It is designed to be mounted on top of a post.
Bluebird are good neighbors with most other birds and people,
but not other Bluebirds or Starlings, they are fiercely territorial.

If you want more bluebirds around, you will need to place the next birdhouse 300 to 500' apart. However, we have many bluebird bird houses 20' apart, the bluebirds select their's and the swallows, house sparrows, wrens and nuthatches use the rest. The wrens and nuthatches usually use the ones with the smaller entrance holes, but not always. Go figure!
