Living with Birds Cedar & Pine Favourites Nest Box
Cedar & Pine Favourites
What else measures up to the warmth and natural appeal of real wood? Our wooden nest boxes provide quality accommodation that’s valued by birds for nesting and year-round roosting.
They’re built to last from chunky, quality timber – unlike thin, flimsy wooden boxes that rot after a couple of seasons. You don’t even need to reach for the paint brush: they’ll keep their natural good looks for years, ageing gracefully without the need for varnish or preservatives.

They’re built from chunky, quality timber that lasts much longer than thin, flimsy boxes. They need no paint, varnish or preservative and age naturally.
The hole-fronted Cedar Difference™ Nest Box suits tits and sparrows. The Open Front Nest Box and Robin Nester suit robins and wrens. The Riverside Hedgehog House is a shelter for hedgehogs.
Fix it 2–4 metres high, facing between north and east to avoid strong sun and wet winds, with a clear flight path. Autumn and winter are ideal times, because birds roost in boxes then and choose nest sites in early spring.
By law, only clean out a box between 1 September and 31 January, when it isn’t in use. Remove old nesting material and rinse the box with boiling water. Don’t use insecticides.
Put it in a quiet, sheltered corner under shrubs or a hedge, with the entrance facing away from the prevailing wind.
