birdhouse
Backyard nesting box
A birdhouse is a small wooden structure with an entrance hole, mounted outdoors to provide nesting shelter for birds.
Also called a nesting box.
The design typically includes a sloped roof and drainage holes: We hung a birdhouse in the backyard and wrens moved in within weeks.
