Coveside Common Merganser Duck House
Offer specific ducks a safe and comfortable home with this fantastic Coveside Common Merganser Duck House. These dramatic ducks, with their black and white back, green head, and bold red bill offer an enchanting addition to your lakeside locale. Cavity nesting ducks are often dependent upon manmade housing for their roost, as they cannot excavate a cavity in trees like other birds. This home offers the perfect shelter for mergansers, with a slanted roof significantly overhanging the dwelling to prevent rain from entering the home, while ventilation slots on either side of the roof keep the interior temperature adequately regulated. Angled corners and a recessed bottom at the base of the home offer drainage to the nest, keeping it comfortable and dry. The 3.75" high, 4.75" wide entrance hole allows only the ducks to enter, and the absence of a perch enables a clear and safe entryway, serving to prevent predators from reaching the eggs.
