Help control insects, small rodents, and small reptiles by providing a nesting box for the American Kestrel in your area.
Our Kestrel Birdhouse includes an internal perch (shown in photo with door open).
The Kestrel cannot excavate its own cavity and depends on the larger nest holes of woodpeckers for a nesting place.
Since these are in short supply, the kestrels are often dependent upon man-made nesting boxes.
The house should be placed in an open area, such as in a meadow or along a highway.
Wood chips are included with our Kestrel Birdhouse. To order extra bags of wood chips please visit our "Accessories" page.
Measures 17-3/4" high by 9-1/4" wide by 11" deep.
Hand crafted in the USA by Coveside, of durable Eastern White Pine. Pine will naturally age to a shade of gray.
Shipped from the workshop in Maine and delivered to you within one to five business days.
