- Description
Designed specifically for small cavity-nesting garden birds such as blue tits and great tits, this nest box provides a safe and secure shelter for roosting during autumn and winter, and an ideal nesting site from spring through to early summer. By offering protection from harsh weather and predators, it supports natural breeding behaviour and helps encourage healthy bird populations in the garden.
Handcrafted and hand-painted from sustainably sourced timber using traditional techniques, each nest box is unique. Both practical and decorative, it is a thoughtful gift and a valuable addition to any wildlife-friendly outdoor space.
Where to site:
-
Position the nest box 2–4 metres above ground on a tree, wall, or fence.
-
Face north or north-east to avoid strong sunlight and heavy rain.
-
Choose a quiet, sheltered location, away from feeding stations and busy areas of the garden.
-
Ensure the box is securely fixed and does not sway.
How to care for it:
-
Leave the nest box undisturbed during the breeding season.
-
Clean out old nesting material once a year in autumn, after chicks have fledged.
-
Use boiling water only to clean the inside; avoid chemicals or detergents.
-
Check fixings annually to ensure the box remains stable and weather-resistant.
