The Coveside Convertible Nest Box & Roost Box is reversable depending on the season. The front panel of the nest box can be turned upside down to convert it into an improved roost box after the nesting season is complete.

It’s not too late to add a nest box for a second nesting attempt by bluebirds this nesting season, plus now you can provide roosting shelter during the off-season with the Coveside Convertible Nest Box & Roost Box in your yard. The unique design of this birdhouse allows it to be a safe nest box for bluebirds and similar cavity nesting birds during spring and summer; then you can easily convert it into an optimum fall and winter roosting site. Its classic rectangular shape and the 1½-inch diameter entrance hole is best for Western and Eastern Bluebirds.

While it’s still within prime nesting season in northern and mountain regions, the entrance is positioned near the top of the nest box, but as fall temperatures become cooler you can easily reverse the position of the entry hole to the bottom of the box. By positioning the entrance hole at the bottom, the warm air created by the roosting bird or birds rises and remains inside the converted roost box. There is also a 3 dowel ladder for you to position inside when it is used as a roost box that provides roosting perches for birds. As spring approaches, it’s easy to reverse the position of the entrance panel again; then remove the perches, and it’s ready for bluebirds or another native cavity nesting species to nest there.

A slate predator guard surrounds the entrance to prevent squirrels and other animals from enlarging the hole. The ¾-inch thick pine boards provide insulation from heat and cold, and the downward sloping roof sheds rain and snow away from the nest-roost box.
