JCS Wildlife Cedar Wood Duck House with Recycled Poly Lumber Roof and Predator Guard

Welcome your feathered friends with the JCs Wildlife Cedar Wood Duck House! This cedar duck house is designed to be mounted on a pole in the water or at the water's edge in wetland areas for wood ducks as well as other cavity-nesting birds like kestrels, tree swallows, and great crested flycatchers. With a built in predator guard, a 4" oval entrance hole, and a slanted overhanging roof, this house is designed to safely and comfortably house wood ducks. Built with sturdy western cedar and an eco-friendly recycled poly lumber roof, this house will last for seasons to come in your area. The wood ducks living in this house will also stay safe from the elements as well as safe from predators like snakes or raccoons. This house includes kerfs inside to help ducklings climb out and fly to water when they are ready. No grip grooves or perches are outside the house in order to protect the ducks from outside predators. A door on the side of the house allows for easy access to the interior - making clean out a simple and quick task. Simply open the clean out door and replace the nesting material inside when performing annual maintenance. This Wood Duck House also comes with pre-drilled drainage holes so that the house stays cleaner and safer for the nesting ducks. Nesting Material: While Wood Ducks can find their own nesting materials, your Wood Duck House will include two bags of pine shavings. Adding 4-6" of shavings to the floor when mounting will make the house more appealing to the Wood Ducks. If you need to replace the nesting material, pine shavings are the safest option. **Dimensions of this house are 24.5" H x 12" W x 12.25" D** This house comes fully assembled and ready for installation, with pre-drilled pilot holes for mounting on the floor of the house, along with larger drainage holes. **No paint or varnish should be applied to this house, internally or externally, as it could be poisonous to the ducks.**
