Artisan Bird Nester

Artisan Bird Nester

This nester offers a small cavity, prefect for species of birds who roost alone during winter months or as a cosy home for nesting during spring.

• Can be easily sited amongst natural leaf cover and in the vegetation of bushes, hedges or trees.

• With a sturdy inner frame for support, it has strong metals hooks at the rear and a long loop at the top to ensure it can be fastened securely. It should be positioned in a sheltered space to keep out harsh weather. A warm, protected roosting space out of the prevailing wind, can be a life saver for small birds during harsh, cold conditions.

• The small round entrance is reinforced with steel and is slight protruding, making it easier for birds to land and perch on.

• This Fair Trade product is made by artisan worked in rural communities in southern Bangladesh. The nesters are handmade to the highest quality from natural seagrass and recycled saris, therefore colours will vary as each nester is unique.

• A bird box nester will provide pupils with the opportunity to develop their observational skills. Activity ideas could include observing and documenting the species of birds that visit, the times of day that they are most active and how that varies depending on season and weather conditions.
