A bunch of birds at one time, even different species, will sit on the little ladder inside.

The entrance hole is at the bottom of the front panel, so their body heat will rise and stay inside.

In the spring, you switch the front panel so the hole is at the top, letting the hot air out, and they use it for nesting. When I order one, I'll affix it somehow to the wall of the balcony.

Everything else I did today pales next to my self-tutorial on bird boxes and storm watching.

Hi, Someone asked me for the link to my research. It was just Amazon. If you search for "bird roost box," all this stuff will come up and you can web-hop around the different makers. Good luck bird lovers! Ginger
