Provide a comfortable and reliable shelter for colorful and unique ducks with the fantastic Coveside Black-Bellied Whistling Duck House. Black-bellied whistling ducks are recognizable by their lengthy, pink legs and red bills, along with a grayish brown plumage, and these striking creatures will find a safe abode in this durable unit. Made from sustainably harvested pine and constructed by a family owned mill, this naturally beautiful abode has a 6" wide by 4.5" high, ovular entrance hole to accommodate the needs of these colorful ducks, and the 0.75" thick pine gives ample insulation and safety for the dwelling. A downward slanting roof tops the house to keep it safe from rain and other outdoor elements, and extended slats just beneath either side of the roof offer superior ventilation for the box. The front panel's inside wall contains a plastic ladder for ducklings to gain traction as they typically leap from nest cavities within two days of hatching, and the bottom panel leaves gaps at every corner for additional drainage and air flow. One side of this quaint house sports two panels held in place by metal latches, and these can be easily lifted upward to allow close up viewing and easy cleanings when necessary, while an included bag of pine shavings lets you set up an attractive and suitable nesting space. A metal hanging loop on the top of the habitat's back panel allows you to clearly display this durable and robust item against a tree or post next to water for protection against raccoons and unwanted predators; the abode's natural tone will transform over time to an alluring gray hue with exposure to outdoor conditions and over time. Provide safe space and protection to colorful waterfowl in your area by showcasing this Black-Bellied Whistling Duck House. Some assembly required. Made in the USA.
