Songbird Essentials Small Hanging Grass Twine House

Product Description: Songbird Essentials Reed Grass Roosting Pockets - Winter Shelter

Roosting pockets offer birds protection from harsh elements during severe cold and heat. These pockets can be particularly beneficial during extremely cold night temperatures, providing refuge from bitter winds and ice. A wide range of bird species will utilize the roosting pockets when harsh weather arrives, including those that typically do not use traditional houses. These pockets can be lifesaving, preventing deadly hypothermia and frostbite on evenings when birds are especially vulnerable.

The roosting pockets should be placed in an area sheltered from winds and rain, securely mounted to prevent them from being blown about or swaying in the wind. Ideal placement is within tree branches or shrubs, preferably in a spot that receives late afternoon sunlight. This will help the pocket retain some warmth through the evening, assisting birds in maintaining their body heat.

Constructed from organic reed grass, the roosting pockets blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings, providing protection from predators. The reed grass also facilitates drainage and ventilation, allowing the pocket to dry quickly and preventing premature decay. The rough surface of the material makes it easy for birds to enter and exit.

Songbird Essentials offers a variety of roosting pockets to accommodate different bird species. When selecting a pocket, consider the entrance size and overall pocket size to match the birds in your backyard during the winter months. Some species prefer smaller, solitary roosting cavities, while others roost in groups. If you have a diverse array of birds, it's best to provide a few different styles placed throughout your yard.
