The Downy is America’s smallest woodpecker and is a backyard favorite because it is comfortable around people.
Putting up a birdhouse in the fall is a treat for the Downy as it will tend to use a nest box in the winter as a roosting box to escape the cold.
Comes standard with slate squirrel guard and wood chips.
Hand crafted in the USA by Coveside, of Eastern White Pine which provides insulation and durability.
The wood will naturally age to a beautiful gray color over time, and does not require painting or staining.
Habitat: Likes open forests of mixed growth, orchards, or swamps.
Range: Resides throughout eastern United States.

Coveside makes a great bird house This is our 4th bird house and our third Coveside Bird House. I highly recommend you only buy a bird house with a barrier around the opening. Squirrels will chew a larger hole within days if there is not something hard, (metal, slate) to stop them. A double wood barrier doesn’t stop a squirrel. The Coveside Woodpecker Houses are made to last. Squirrels can not chew throw the opening, so they leave them alone. The house is easy to clean out if you would like to. We have birds in ours year…
Another EXCELLENT COVESIDE PRODUCT âºï¸ðð» My third Coveside purchase, never disappoints. What an excellent product with concise and specific instructions for each type of bird ( so far for me Downey woodpecker box, chickadee box and wren box!) highly recommend this product and all that they make A+++++
Woodpecker Home Well constructed, nice material, good design. They are mounted on the woodshed and the side of the porch. — now if only the woodpeckers would occupy then! (quick shipping, well packed).
