nest box
Mounted bird shelter
A nest box is a human-made enclosure providing shelter for birds or other animals to nest and raise young.
Birdhouses are the most common type, mounted on poles or trees to attract species like bluebirds or owls.
Nest boxes also house bats, squirrels, or bees: We installed nest boxes along the trail to support the local owl population.
