Nesting boxes for native birds - an active contribution to species protection and garden ecology

The decline in natural nesting sites in forests and hedgerows is making it increasingly difficult for native birds to find suitable places to breed. With our nesting boxes, you can make a valuable contribution to species protection and at the same time create a fascinating nature experience in your garden. Our native songbirds, which also help with pest control, will thank you for it.

Our nesting boxes are made entirely from natural materials to provide the birds not only with safe nesting sites, but also a warm shelter in winter.

FAQ - Nesting boxes for native birds

How do nesting boxes contribute to species conservation?

Nest boxes compensate for the lack of natural breeding sites. They support the population of native bird species by providing safe and protected places to breed.

How should nesting boxes be installed?

Avoid direct sunlight and never align the entrance hole to the weather side (west). Hang nesting boxes at least 2 meters above the ground to protect them from predators such as martens and cats.

Which nesting boxes are suitable for which bird species?

Different bird species prefer different entrance hole sizes. For example, 28 mm diameter is ideal for blue tits and coal tits, 30 mm for tree sparrows and 32 mm for great tits, house sparrows, nuthatches and pied flycatchers. An oval hole 30 mm wide and 45 mm high is recommended for redstarts.
