Woodpeckers will sometimes access a different nest box by enlarging the entrance hole to make it suitable. This specialist Woodpecker nest box offers them the opportunity to excavate their own entrance hole and create their own home. It should be sited at a height of 2-3 metres and to encourage them you can also line the box with a layer of forest soil or peat.
Key Features:
- Supplied with a small drill hole for woodpeckers to expand
- Hollowed-out birch log blends in with the environment
- Unscrew the roof for easy cleaning
Please note that because this is a natural product, dimensions may vary.
Why are nest boxes important?
Natural nest sites are being lost having devastating consequences for bird species. Birds are an essential component of functioning ecosystems and have a direct impact on human populations and millions of other species. It is therefore important to provide our feathered friends with a home.
