Chickadee/Wren Nest Box with Peaked Roof - Tigerwood

Not only is this chickadee/wren nest box pleasing to the eye, it is also designed and built to provide years of service for your bird friends and lasting enjoyment for you. WOOD: Each box is made from Goncalo Alves (aka tigerwood; Astronium graveolens or A. fraxinifolium), an exotic hardwood from Central and South America. Tigerwood is a strong, dense, durable wood, making it an excellent material for nest boxes. Published wood characteristics data show tigerwood to be dramatically stronger and more durable than either northern white cedar or western red cedar, common nest box woods. Tigerwood is so durable, it is used unfinished for decking.FEATURES: Each box is constructed consistent with guidance from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's NestWatch Program and similar organizations. Each box has the following features: Thick, dense wood to insulate and protect. Unfinished, untreated wood to provide a non-toxic home. Rabbet and dado joint construction for strength and tightness.
