Specialist Nest Boxes

Using the right nest box supports nesting behavior and contributes to biodiversity enhancement. Read on to explore how these innovative solutions help a wide range of species, like owls or starlings, thrive in your outdoor environment.

Different bird species in your garden

Each bird species has distinct nesting needs, making it important to choose a nest box designed for their preferences. Therefore, you can find specialist nest boxes in our collection, suitable for specific bird species.

• Nest box for tawny owl: Tawny owls prefer large, enclosed nest boxes that provide ample space for nesting and raising their young. These boxes should be mounted high in mature trees, ideally in large gardens, to mimic their natural habitats. Proper insulation and predator-resistant features ensure a safe environment for these nocturnal hunters.
• Nest box for kestrel: Kestrels require open-fronted nest boxes with deep chambers to keep chicks safe. These should be installed in open farmland or grassland areas, mounted on poles or tall trees. Ensuring the box is positioned away from human disturbance supports the natural hunting behaviour of kestrels.
• Nest box for kingfisher: Kingfishers need specialized horizontal boxes placed close to water, such as rivers or lakes. The boxes have long tunnels leading to a nesting chamber, simulating burrows they dig into riverbanks. Camouflage and predator-resistant designs are crucial for protecting these vibrant birds.
• Nest box for starling: Starlings prefer boxes with small, round entry holes that cater to their flocking nature. These can be mounted on buildings, trees, or poles in urban or suburban areas. Durable materials, such as WoodStone, help withstand the wear and tear of their active nesting habits.
• Sparrow nest boxes: These often include multiple compartments, ideal for colony-nesting birds like the house sparrow. They’re perfect for supporting urban wildlife and increasing local populations.

Supporting the needs of various species enriches your garden’s biodiversity while promoting a thriving ecosystem.
