Wood shavings in a house tempt woodpeckers, flickers and owls to nest

Woodpeckers and owls prefer to nest in natural tree cavities. As they excavate their nests, wood chips pile up in the bottom of the cavity. 4 ounces.

Now you can easily encourage woodpeckers, owls and other birds to use man made housing. Just add several inches of pine shavings to the inside of the house. It creates a natural feeling that makes birds comfortable and cushions the eggs and nestlings.

Besides woodpeckers and owls, other birds that prefer wood shavings to nest in are: Wood Duck, Eastern Screech Owl, Western Screech Owl, Northern Flicker, Carolina Chickadee, Mountain Chickadee, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Hooded Merganser, Downy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, American Kestrel.

Pine shavings should be cleaned out and replaced after each brood--so be sure to purchase an adequate supply! 1-1/2 ounces, enough for one brood.
