Wildlife World Wood Artisan Bird Nest Box, Natural/Multi

The Artisan Nest Box from Wildlife World features a beautifully detailed dot design, handmade and hand-painted by Balinese artisans in a genuinely authentic Indonesian style. Made from sustainable FSC-certified timber, the box has a long lifespan due to the robust wood and water-based paint, ensuring the nest box can be used for multiple seasons, sometimes as a nesting spot for the same returning garden birds. It provides a safe and secure habitat for small birds to roost and nest from autumn through the winter to spring when they will look to have their young.

A delightful addition to your garden, it's the perfect nest box for small bird species such as blue tits, coal tits, marsh tits, sparrows and flycatchers. Nesting is most likely during April and May, and in the event of chicks hatching, there will be frenetic feeding activity by the parent birds. Take care not to disturb during this time as any intervention may result in the parent birds' eggs or young being abandoned.

The nest box should be sited on a tree, wall or garden fitting at least 1.5m to 2.5m above the ground, preferably in a place where cats and predators cannot access it. The ideal aspect is facing east. Southeast and northeast are also fine. The box should be left empty as wild birds will bring their own nest material into the box. Wipe away any external dirt with a damp cloth, avoiding any abrasive cleaning products. The inside should be cleaned just before the end of September, prior to autumn once any fledglings have left.
