Where should the open fronted nest box be located?

These birds normally select low-down nesting areas so try to erect this open fronted nest box between 30cm and 1m from the ground.

Blackbirds and robins, in particular, may seem like quite tame garden birds but when it comes to raising their young they want somewhere that’s discreet. It’s tempting to put a birdbox somewhere where it can easily be observed, but this means it’s less likely to be used by the birds. It will need to somewhere where there is lots of sheltered undergrowth. Think of places where there is dense ivy or tucked into thick shrubs.

Low-nesting birds are particularly vulnerable to predators, especially cats so try to locate the box somewhere that’s safe from predators in a private spot.

 

Why is it important to provide bird boxes for birds that nest low to the ground?

Robins and blackbirds seem like the commonest of garden species, yet all of our wild birds need help because even the most common of bird species are declining in numbers in the UK.

It’s all well and good providing food (which of course is very important) but one of their other greatest threats is loss of habitat, and with that loss of suitable breeding sites due to decreased woodland and hedgerow areas.

You can make all the difference to your local bird population by putting up a range of nest boxes, like our Classic Nest Box. We’ve put a good variety in our fields as part of our Buy Land Plant Trees project and they have been very popular with our local birds.

 

How can I attract these birds to use the open fronted nest box?

Quite simply – food and nesting materials!

Robins, blackbirds and wrens like to eat suet and mealworms. Fat balls are made of suet and they love them! Most birds that like nesting close to the ground are ground feeders so you can crumble  fat balls on to our ground feeder to let them feed safely. 

You can put out some nesting materials like our bird nest wool in the spring which they can use to line their nests to make them snug and warm.

Solid Purchase
Size: X-Small, Color: Red
This coat delivers strong quality and clean style. The fabric feels sturdy and warm, and it holds its shape well in cold weather. The color stays bright, and the stitching looks secure. The fit is true to size, and the coat layers easily over sweaters without feeling bulky.

Good quality

I gave this as a Christmas present and he loved it. I was worried when I ordered it that the quality might not be that good, but I worried for nothing.

This is more like a long cardigan sweater, than a coat.
Size: Small, Color: #2 Blackandwhite
This is more like a long cardigan sweater, than a coat. It doesn't have much structure & the pocket placement is too high for a coat. That being said, it's very soft & comfortable. As far as sizing goes, the sleeves run a bit long, but the coat, itself, runs a bit tight. I'm 5'10'' and a small fit me, but I wouldn't be able wear anything very thick under it & I'm thin. It's light & machine washable. I almost kept it to wear as a long sweater, but it looks like a coat ,so I sent it back. If you're very thin with long arms and don't mind the pockets being a bit high, then this could be a very stylish piece for you. Otherwise, I would pass.

i would definitely recommend. stick with your regular size or size up for a less slim fit
Size: Small, Color: Black
I usually wear a medium, I ordered a small based on reading the reviews. I am 150lbs 5’4”. this coat fits great for me personally. it’s not bulky, it’s not baggy. it is a slim fit jacket, definitely more on the slender side. when i raise my arms above my head , the sleeves do come up a bit. I would suggest sticking to your normal size or if you want a less slim fit with a tiny bit more room, sizing up wouldn’t be an issue. the coat is super soft and has some weight to it. i would recommend this jacket, it is warm and a nice piece for formal attire.
