Living with Birds 2H Robin Box Open-Fronted Robin Schwegler Woodcrete Favourite Nest Box

Our nature conservation programme contains various models for Birds that nest in cavities or recesses. They are particularly suitable for species that prefer an open, balcony-type entrance area, e.g. Redstarts and Robins. The wide, open access to the clutch and the nestlings that is a feature of this type of box means that such species are often under threat from predators. Due to the large access to the breeding chamber, however, the clutch and brood of these species are often threatened by predators. The advantage of all open-fronted and niche nesting boxes is that they can be attached to buildings, as for protection reasons, these bird species prefer to nest on houses, sheds etc. The predator-proof, open-ended box 2HW helps to prevent such attacks and unprotected installation on trees can then be recommended.

This traditional type has proved to be highly effective. It should always be installed on the outside walls of houses, barns, garden sheds, etc. It is designed to be hung so that the entrance is to one side (at an angle of 90° to the wall). The front panel can be easily removed for cleaning.

Please do not hang this type of box on a tree or bush because small predators can enter through the unprotected opening. If hung in the right place this open-fronted type will attract the species of Birds referred to above. This model has been successfully used for decades.
