Help your children appreciate birds and nature with the Woodlink Wren House Kit. This DIY kit includes the panels, hardware, and accessories needed to create your own wren house. Wrens are cavity nesters, and will readily use manmade structures for a roost. The convenient 1.125" diameter opening on this home is specifically designed for small birds, and prevents larger, more aggressive birds from overtaking the shelter. The home also offers ventilation holes for the safety of the birds, and assembles with only a Phillips screwdriver. That makes it perfect for kid's crafting parties or a scouting group project. The wooden construction adds a rustic touch to the item, for a fun natural element in your garden. Enjoy birding as a family activity with help from this Wren House Kit.
