Bird Nest Boxes

As wildlife habitat dwindles in the urban area and elsewhere it becomes harder for birds that depend on woodpecker-drilled nest cavities to find nautural nesting sites. 

Although they are no substitute for retaining large expanses of native habitat, artificial nest boxes can provide birds with alternatives. 

Since nest boxes are meant to replace natural cavities, they work best when they are made of natural wood and without any adornments, including perches.
