Description
The SCHWEGLER Nest Box 2H is specially designed for birds that prefer an open, balcony-style entrance, such as the Black Redstart, Pied Wagtail, and Grey Spotted Flycatcher. Its open-fronted design allows easy access for these species, while the predator-proof construction makes it safer for nestlings from threats like small mammals and larger birds.
Why Choose the Nest Box 2H?
Birds that nest in open areas are often at risk from predators due to the exposed nature of their nests. The Nest Box 2H is built to counteract this, with a side-angled entrance that makes it harder for predators to reach the nest. This design has been trusted for decades in providing a safe and welcoming environment for cavity-nesting birds.
Ideal for the Following Species:
- Black Redstarts
- Pied Wagtails
- Grey Spotted Flycatchers
- Occasionally Robins and Wrens
Key Features:
- Predator-Proof Design: The side-angled entrance and sturdy wood-concrete material help protect nestlings from predators.
- Durable Material: Made from SCHWEGLER's wood-concrete, it’s weather-resistant and offers a long lifespan.
