ABSTRACT:
A bird nesting box is disclosed for viewing the nesting behavior of birds. The apparatus includes a housing with an opening and a perch. The back wall of the housing is transparent to allow viewing the interior area of the housing. The roof of the housing is preferably translucent to increase the natural lighting of the interior area. For safe and convenient viewing, the bird nesting box is removably attachable to the outside facing surface of a window pane with suction cups. An opaque cover is removably attachable to the inside facing surface of the window pane. In one orientation, the cover entirely covers the transparent back wall. A view port in the cover allows for partial viewing of the inside area with the cover in this orientation. In a second orientation, the cover uncovers the back wall for complete viewing of the interior area. In another embodiment, the housing is supported above the ground by a post. The back wall is transparent hand has a frame. An opaque cover is hinged to the frame and can be swung open to allow for viewing of the interior area through the transparent back wall. Rings of different inner diameters may be snapped into the opening to selectively change the effective size of the opening to accommodate different species of birds.
