Flicker Woodpecker Nest Box - Natural Bark

$80.00

Elevate your backyard into a haven for stunning flickers and other large woodpeckers with The Nest Box Barn's Natural Bark Flicker Woodpecker House. By providing a breeding site for cavity nesters, you can help overcome the lack of natural nesting sites resulting from habitat loss, and actively contribute to maintaining their populations.

With the Flicker Woodpecker House's cedar roof that overhangs the entrance, water is prevented from reaching the interior, and the 2.5" diameter entry hole is perfect for flickers and other large woodpeckers, such as red-headed and red-bellied species. Ventilation holes and a gap near the top of the deep shelter ensure optimal air flow, while corner gaps on the base provide adequate drainage.

Cleaning the Flicker Woodpecker House is made easy with the front open panel, and you can trust that it will remain aesthetically pleasing for many seasons to come, as it's handcrafted one box at a time from 100% cedar and high-end exterior-grade hardware.

Offer your feathered friends a safe and inviting nesting spot by placing The Nest Box Barn's Natural Bark Flicker Woodpecker House in your backyard. Each house is proudly handcrafted one box at a time in Bay City, MI, making it a unique and valuable addition to your outdoor oasis.

Dimensions: overall 25 x 11.25 x 11, floor 7 x 7.5, entrance 2.5, center entrance to floor 15. It’s best to position the nest box on a tree or pole 6 to 12 feet high, preferably a pole with a squirrel and predator baffle. Face the entrance south or east in a shaded open wooded area in town or in a rural setting, and make sure there is an open flyway to and from the nest box. Tip - for attracting woodpeckers to a nest box fill the box about 1/2 way full of wood shavings (not sawdust). Excavating the chips is a natural instinct and found desirable for woodpeckers.
