Exclusively for Birds-I-View |
Steve designed this nest box pole in the 1980s to meet the needs of folks wanting a durable pole to which the box could easily mount, and the entire system could easily "step -in" to the ground to be erected. (made of STURDY Steel tubing) Sorry, due to size this item is available "in-Store" only. |
Left: Steve makes certain the BIV Nest Box Pole is level before mounting a new box on the Birds-I-View Trail. |
Download the BIV Baffle assembly instructions HERE |
Steve's revision of older Snake and Raccoon Baffles is unique because it provides a sturdier system which is easier to assemble, while doing the best possible job at deterring snakes, raccoons and other predators. |
(The BIV Snake and Raccoon Baffle Assembly instructions are also available for other pole types. Just call or email or stop by the store for instructions. |
Steve designed this nest box with all the great features of the standard BIV Nest Box ( ie Long Roof, Side-opening, designed for the safety of the birds nesting), however he made a few adjustments which will add years of life to the nest box! The Roof is constructed of long-lasting TREX material and the front and back of the box are even thicker wood for more durability. Metal Portal on entrance hole protects from Damage by woodpeckers and squirrels. |
