Bed
and Breakfast for Bluebirds
| This
overnight Roost allows Bluebirds to enter the Winter Roost Box which
is located inside the Window of your heated home, protected from predators
and the weather.
The outdoor MealWorm~ Berry Dispenser
and Drinking Fountain are both serviced from inside the Window without
disturbing outdoor Birds or even those inside the Roost.

Designed to fit in a standard
Aluminum, Vinyl, or Wooden double-hung Window by simply lifting the bottom
Sash up 2-1/2" to accommodate the Bluebird
Haven Roost and Diner, and then adding the
Filler Strips, shown below left. No holes, nails, screws, or other fasteners
are required.
The Bluebird
Haven Roost and Diner as seen from outdoors:
Inside the Window is the Roost
Box which has a layer of absorbant Insect-repellent Cedar Chip Bedding
on the floor.
The white Cap covers the MealWorm
and Berry dispenser to keep out drafts and insects. It is removed to drop
MealWorms and Berries down the white tube, which emerge at the outdoor
center hole. With the Cap removed, the indoor Lid can be lifted to replace
Bedding.
Unseen is the indoor Water Fountain
Reservoir which is heated by indoor room warmth. It holds about 8 ounces
of Water and is available to your Bluebirds at the white Fountain on the
left.
The hole on the right is the
DEEP entrance to the Roost Box. It is 1-1/2" diameter which restricts larger
birds. The Platform under the Fountain and Feeder is the only part that
requires assembly; by insertion of 2 Screws in pre-drilled holes.
Bluebird
Haven is locked in place by lowering your
double-hung window, ready to accommodate 12 or more Bluebirds. You may
find an occasional Chickadee, Titmouse or Nuthatch joining in the "sleep-over".
But this Roost is made especially
for Bluebirds, so there are no perches which allow Birds above to soil
Birds cuddled below. Blue Birds are very happy roosting on wood chips,
unlike Wood Peckers which may prefer to cling to the inside of a roughened
wall.
Bluebirds are much more likely
to winter-over if they are kept warm and well fed. The Bluebird
Haven built-in Dispensers allow you to feed
and water your Bluebirds without going outdoors. This feature is part of
our Minimal Disturbance Design.
Bluebird
Haven will fit Double-hung Windows 12" wide
or more. We don't recommend painting them, as natural wood seems to be
more attractive to most cavity-nesting birds than are vinyl, metal, or
painted surfaces.
We do recommend that the window
holding the Bluebird
Haven be fitted with a sheer curtain or Venetian
Blind. This will allow you to monitor their activity but minimize disturbance
of the Blue Birds.
The Lid is easily removed from
inside your room to change the Cedar Chip or cat-litter bedding. Cedar
is well known as an insect repellent and will help keep the Roost Box clean
and dry.
PolyFoam Seals are included
to prevent drafts.
Hand-crafted in Pennsylvania's
Amish country.

Bluebird
Haven Roost and Diner is a must
for anyone who wants to protect
their Bluebirds
from the perils encountered
in a long migration flight.
A plus is that; Bluebirds will
be available
to consume those cold-blooded
insects
which venture out on Sunny Winter
days.
