nestbox
Mounted bird shelter
A nestbox is a wooden box with an entrance hole, mounted outdoors to provide nesting sites for birds.
Also called a birdhouse, though nestbox often implies a more utilitarian design intended for specific species rather than decorative purposes: We installed nestboxes for bluebirds along the fence line.
