Description
The SCHWEGLER 1ZA Wren House is specially designed to cater to the nesting habits of Wrens, a familiar bird in Irish gardens. Wrens prefer enclosed, round nesting spaces, and this spherical house provides a perfect, predator safe environment for raising their young and sheltering during the winter.
Due to our tidier modern gardens, natural nesting sites for Wrens have become scarce. This 1ZA Wren House provides an ideal alternative, crafted from breathable, long-lasting SCHWEGLER wood-concrete that prevents condensation and offers superior weather resistance. It ensures Wrens can safely rear their chicks and have a comfortable place to sleep in winter, offering protection from both the elements and predators.
Features:
- The enclosed spherical design mimics the Wrens' preferred natural nesting environment, encouraging higher occupancy.
- Wrens feed on spiders, flies, and other insects, making them valuable for garden pest management.
- Made from SCHWEGLER wood-concrete, the house offers excellent durability and weather resistance while preventing condensation build-up.
- The design ensures protection from common nest predators, helping safeguard the young birds.
Positioning:
- Wrens prefer to nest close to the ground in shady, overgrown areas, such as hedges or thick vegetation.
- If hung in a more exposed area, the house may also attract other cavity-nesting birds like Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Great Tits, and Sparrows.
Installation & Maintenance:
- The house comes with an integrated stainless-steel wire rope for easy attachment to branches, underbrush, or piles of garden clippings.
- The house is made up of two shells that can be easily separated for cleaning. Cleaning should be done in autumn or winter to avoid disturbing the brood, with no checks recommended between April and June.
