Where did you get that? Product page says made of "fir"

Oh I see that they also say "Unique quality, value and durability of aromatic cedar"

That's a bit confusing but I'm willing to bet they went the cheaper route. Lol. They are basically saying that fir share the characteristics of cedar.

1 1/2" entry will let any small bird in. Don't be surprised if sparrows or other birds move in. Wren houses I have made have a hole the size of a quarter.

Do people hang birdhouses? Seems like it would move every time a bird lands on it, the wind blows, etc. Wouldn't they rather have a solid house that doesn't move?

Careful, a wren uses 1"-1 1/8". A common sparrow can fit into 1.5" and they'll take over everything.

Amazon sells copper colored circular plating that will attach around the entry hole. Woodpeckers and squirrels will work at it to make it bigger in my part of the country.

Some birds will nest anywhere. I had a family of wrens that nested in my screened back porch ceiling light fixture for a few years. They had to gain entry by zipping thru the 1/2 inch gap beneath the screen door. They insulated it with fiberglass batting they pulled from the electric wiring. I spent $20k to enclose it with vinyl windows, better door and tile flooring, no longer an issue, but an expensive fix, lol.

Going to block the hole they use and drill a smaller on on the back side.
Also going to make a template on cardboard of the parts and use that to trace more on to cedar fence posts ($4) and make more of these

If looking for heavier and more durable build I found this one on Amazon and posted as a deal as well.

Look at the customer images it looks very well built but is $3.20 more but I think worth it.

We has a pair nest in our hanging baskets. No shelter,and swang in the wind. Did it 3 yrs in a row. got 3 houses this year to keep them from killing the flowers. have them secure and swinging. They dont seem to care where.
