Schwegler 2BN Treecreeper Nest Box

There are two types of Treecreeper in Europe: the species known simply as the Treecreeper, and the Short-toed Treecreeper. They are very difficult to tell apart although experts can distinguish them by their calls or by slight differences in the colouring of their feathers.

Both species prefer a nest box that allows contact inside with a tree trunk that has a coarse type of bark, such as oak, alder, poplar, pine, pear, or apple trees. For this reason the Treecreeper boxes are open at the rear (the tree side).

Key Features: 

• Brood chamber with reduced depth and greater height compared to the 2B
• A lip at the top side or edge of the box acts as a seal, pressing into the rough bark
• Generally doesn't disturb secondary tree growth
• Easy to clean

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.
