If you're looking to attract more bird activity and support local populations, installing a bird house in your garden is a great way to do so. However, the type of birds that may use your bird house will depend on your location and the type of box you have installed.
Bird House Features
Our bird houses are made from responsibly sourced Western Red Cedar and feature a removable front panel pre-drilled with a 32mm hole. They also include two metal entrance hole protective plates to prevent predators like woodpeckers from entering the bird house. Additionally, our two latest bird house feature hi-spec WiFi cameras that allow you to watch birds nesting up close in HD via your phone or tablet.
Location, location, location!
When choosing a location for your bird house, it's important to consider the bird species' preferences. Birds prefer a quiet and safe location, away from human disturbance, such as foot traffic or noise. Different bird species prefer different heights for their nest house.

Home sweet home
To attract birds to your birdhouse, it's best to provide a reliable source of food and water by setting up a bird feeder and bird bath near the nest box. Many bird species also prefer to use nesting material to line their nest box, so leaving things like twigs, grasses, and feathers near the house can also help attract nesting birds. It's important to be patient as it may take time for birds to discover your birdhouse.
