The hinged side clean out door (not visible in photo) makes annual cleaning a snap and like all of our Barn Owl nesting boxes, it has an elliptic entry, plus a vertical predator guard built inside to protect 
the Barn Owls and dissuade mammalian or Great Horned Owl predation.

Meadowood* Bluebird 5" x 5"
The Meadowood* Bluebird 5" x 5" is the best commercially built Bluebird nest box in the country. The Meadowood* Bluebird 5" x 5" has a larger floor size, the Speed Mount System has a 4 point steel mounting plate engineered for decades of hard use, and is constructed out of
beautiful long lasting Con Heart Redwood.
We just love this nest box and the Bluebirds love them too.
Includes: 3/4" x 5' EMT Pole or 3/4" x 1' EMT Pole for U-BAR mounting.
Model: #MWBB-5x5 Price: $52.00*
Note: Look to the bottom of this page, for the cost of SUPERDECK Exterior Hand Rubbed Finishes.


Note: Because of shipping costs you may want to order the Meadowood Bluebird or the Meadowood Bluebird Chateau nest boxes without the mounting pole. You can buy a 10 foot 3/4" EMT pipe at Home Depot (costs about $5.00), have them cut it in half, then file off the burrs on the mounting end, hammer flat the end that will go into the ground and you're set for 2 nest boxes. Should you decide to take our advice, we will be happy to discount $2.00 off each nest boxes that you purchase.

Meadowood* Flicker

If this is happening to you, then you know it's time to get a Flicker box.
Flickers need a home too and here it is.
Now you can go back to bed and get some well deserved sleep.

Meadowood* Tree Squirrel
Same design as the Meadowood* Screech Owl, so the nest box can be mounted flush to oak trees, but the entry hole is on the side and there is no clean out door.
Model: #MWTRSQ Price: $62.00*
Note: Look to the bottom of this page, for the cost of SUPERDECK Exterior Hand Rubbed Finishes.

Meadowood Products

*All Meadowood products are made out of 3/4" Con Heart Redwood.

To assure a quality product, Wild Wing Company
will only ship Meadowood custom built nest boxes after Con Heart Redwood is properly cured.

The reason for this is that Con Heart Redwood needs time to cure in our drying shed to reduce splitting when cut into components.

Please be patient as the end result will be nothing short of fantastic!

"Live Capture Traps"

The Gable Trap
Is based on the proven Huber Trap design, but looks more attractive. This trap is the typical single cavity nest box trap that has been proven to trap House Sparrows that go out of their way to kill Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, Violet Green Swallows,
other native cavity nesting birds and their young.

The trap can be mounted on the walls of building, fence posts or on a 3/4" EMT pole like our popular Meadowood* Bluebird and Meadowood* Bluebird Chateau nest boxes.

If you are challenged by House Sparrows you'll need a dependable trap like the Gable Trap!
Model: #GT Price: $52.00*

European Starling Hotel Trap & Cage
European Starlings are exotic pests that were introduced in the late 1800's and are known as the "Silent Killers." They have decimated many of out native cavity nesting birds and in some places in New York state (an other eastern states) people have not seen Red Headed Woodpeckers for years because of these aggressive cavity nesters.

From the beginning of mans early agricultural efforts, the European Starling has plagued mankind. They are big time crop deprecators and carry a host of diseases. I have witnessed the damage that these pests do and it is frightening.

The European Starling Hotel trap is designed to trap European Starlings alive and unharmed when they attempt to roost during the winter or nest in the trap during the breeding season. Once trapped they are to be disposed of accordingly and on the remote chance that a native cavity nesting bird gets trapped, the native bird can be easily released unharmed.

Not for everyone, but for those that are serious about protecting our
native cavity nesting birds and protecting your cash crops you need to have
the European Starling Hotel trap working for you.
Model: #EUST/T-C Price: $256.00
Note: Look to the bottom of this page, for the cost of SUPERDECK Exterior Hand Rubbed Finishes.

V-TRAP
The V-TRAP is a large industrial trap for trapping hundreds of European Starlings (or other pest birds) alive. Where the European Starling Hotel is most effective during the nesting season, the V-TRAP is most effective during the winter months, then after the nesting season is over (late August) and into harvest season.

The V-TRAP Includes: Redwood entry door w/ hasp & 1 master lock,
plus 1 roosting box to keep decoy birds alive so you can trap more birds.
Model: #V-TRAP Price: $539.00*
Note: Look to the bottom of this page, for the cost of SUPERDECK Exterior Hand Rubbed Finishes.
