The Bird Box Details
Cedar is our preferred wood for bird boxes as it is an excellent thermal insulator, long lasting and naturally weather resistant without the need for preservatives. Cedar has an attractive appearance and will weather naturally needing little maintenance other than cleaning the bird box after the fledglings have left the nest.
All the bird boxes are safe and non-toxic. No stains, preservatives or wood treatments are used. Our bird houses are designed not only to attract many different species for nesting, but to offer shelter and protection during winter as well.
The bird boxes are built to RSPB and BTO specifications with floors specially cornered to provide drainage should any water get inside. The sides are vented at the top to provide air circulation and one side is hinged for easy cleaning and monitoring.
The bird boxes are available with four different sizes of entrance hole to attract several different species of birds:
- 25mm (1 inch) hole designed to attract: Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Marsh Tit, Treecreeper, and very small birds.
- 28mm (1 1/8 inches) hole designed to attract: Tree Sparrows, Great Tits, and Crested Tit.
- 32mm (1 1/4 inch) hole designed to attract: Tree Sparrow, Great Tit, Crested Tit, Nuthatch and Pied Flycatcher.
- 38mm (1 1/2 inch) hole designed to attract: Redstarts
The bird box is 30cm (12 inches) high (43cm (17inches) including fixing batten), 17cm (6 3/4 inches) wide and 13cm (5 inches) deep and made from 15mm (5/8 inch) thick cedar. The bird box is screwed together with galvanised screws for extra strength, durability and a quality finish.
