Description
The SCHWEGLER 2GR Nest Box is a premier choice for bird conservation, developed in collaboration with Senior Forest Ranger Dr. Otto Henze†. Its innovative design provides effective protection from predators such as cats and martens, making it an ideal habitat for various bird species. The spacious and well-lit interior encourages successful breeding, while the nest box's features are designed to enhance both bird and bat conservation.
Key Features:
