House wren · Chickadee
$48
Houses birds actually want to live in.
Species-correct nest boxes from a one-bench shop. Cedar, oak, and copper — built to the hole size, not the gift-shop silhouette.
01
The right hole
Entrance diameter is the whole game. Too large and starlings move in. We cut to the species.
02
Wood that weathers
Cedar and oak, left unfinished or milk-painted. No vinyl, no pressure-treated, no plastic roofs.
03
A door that opens
Every box has a clean-out. A house you cannot empty becomes a wasp nest by July.

Bat houses
Tight chambers and a sunny wall. Not an owl box. Mount them on separate structures, fifty feet apart.
The shop
One bench, a few planes, no assembly line.
Cozy Nest is a one-bench workshop. We build nest boxes the way a cabinetmaker would: tight joinery, species-correct floors, and a clean-out that actually opens. Most houses leave in under two weeks.

“A pair of bluebirds nested the first season. The hole size was the difference — the cheap box next door stayed empty.”
“The A-Frame looks like it belongs with the rest of the garden, which I did not expect from a birdhouse.”
“We hang the Finch Pavilion from the apple. Copper is already going green. Wrens moved in in April.”
