Due to the very high demand for my wildlife products there is now at least a 28 day waiting period
for the delivery for my products. Any products purchased from today 29th August wont be despatched until after 29th September.
The natural nest sites on which many of our bird species depend, such as holes in trees and buildings, are fast disappearing
as gardens and woods are ‘tidied’ and old houses are repaired
Nest Box Kits. They are fun to make.These functional nest
boxes are easy to make (any one who can use a screwdriver can put one together in about twenty minutes or so). Made from 12mm external
ply. All you need to put these boxes together and finish them is a screw driver, wood glue (optional) and stain
(optional).
Design
There is no standard, accurate design for a
nestbox. Birds do not insist on their nest sites being mathematically precise! What they do require is a nest site which is
secure and weatherproof, and as safe as possible from predators. Different bird species favour different types and locations
of nesting sites, and so boxes must be constructed accordingly to meet these different needs. Two basic designs however will
accommodate most common garden birds; either a partly open-fronted box, or a box with a circular hole at the front (of varying
diameter for different species).
