If you've ever had a birdhouse in your yard, you know how great it is when birds actually move in and call your garden home. Unfortunately, you also know how easy it is for squirrels, woodpeckers, and other large birds to gnaw or peck their way through the hole and take over the nest.

Put an end to the takeovers with Birdhouse Portal Protectors. When mounted onto the portal of a birdhouse, these little copper shields make it impossible for invaders to widen the hole and get inside.

Portals are available in four sizes for specific birds: Eastern bluebirds, nuthatches, chickadees, and wrens. Mount protectors on new houses to stave off trouble from the start. Or use them to repair damaged houses or change the hole on a house to attract a bird you love.

your feathered friends protect their homes.
