little bird house

With many bird species declining in numbers in our gardens due to the difficulty to find suitable places to nest, the little bird house is one of the easiest and best ways to help little birds and enjoy the life they bring to your garden.

Your bird house comes with a 26mm entrance hole to attract blue tits, marsh tits, coal tits and other small birds. This box will last 25 years and will not rot, warp or expand. The entrance hole is reinforced with a stainless steel washer to resist predation by woodpeckers and magpies.

The nest box is easy to assemble and fit – it can be built in just eight minutes without any fixings, all you need is some sandpaper.

We recommend putting your box up in autumn, in a position 2-4 metres above the ground, on a tree or wall. Where fixing to a tree, please avoid using nails or screws which will harm the tree. If there is no shade on the box site during the day, a north-to-east facing orientation is preferable, avoiding strong sunlight and the worst of the rain and wind. Tilt the box slightly forward to further protect the nest from rain. It is important that there is nothing obstructing the flight path directly in front of the box entrance hole. 

There is no need to paint or varnish your habi-sabi box, you can wipe the box clean with a damp cloth when unoccupied. Our boxes are manufactured from Phonotherm 200 – a rigid, inert, durable and stable insulating board made from post-consumer recycled materials that would otherwise be destined for landfill. The boxes combine physical stability and optimal thermal performance. Manufacturing complies with environmental standard ISO 14001 and the boxes are free from adhesives and formaldehydes, making them safe for wildlife. The habi-sabi little bird house is fully compliant with RSPB guidelines
