Avian Apartments (Nesting Boxes)

Open Up to a Bird's Way of Life

We did not set out to design an ordinary nesting box or bird house. We wanted to design a bird house that had all those features we always wanted but could never find in any other nesting box.

We wanted a birdhouse that met all the requirements of the birds, yet was also:

• sturdy, well-built
• easy to clean
• easy to monitor
• properly ventilated
• easy to hang or post-mount

We sell many different types of birdhouses, covering a range of species which nest here in our back yards. For example: Our WBU Carolina Wren/Chickadee house which is made of durable red cedar, has a design which allows for proper drainage and ventilation to keep the nest and babies dry. This specific design inclueds a two-way opening system, which allows for easy clean out as well as a roof which opens for monitoring the nest.

We also sell top-of-the-line bluebird houses. From the the more basic WBU Eastern Bluebird house to the "Bluebird Manor", made by Heartwood and is a lot more. Whatever your preference, both styles include the key elements that are needed for a successful nesting experience for both tenant and landlord.

No trees or fence posts? Don't worry, we have a solution for you!

Our exclusive, patented Advanced Pole System (APS) Basic Mounting Setup is the perfect beginning to your ultimate bird housing station, which can be designed to meet your own individual needs. This system comes with a 3-foot augered base pole, 3-foot extension pole, stabilizer, as well as a dual flange used to mount any style nest box. The picture to the right shows our WBU Eastern Bluebird box mounted on a pole with a baffle. Baffles can be purchaced and added to your pole to prevent predators such as racoons from reaching the nest.
