Compact Nester Bird Habitat Pocket for Wildlife Enthusiasts

The perfect addition to any bird-friendly backyard is the dual-purpose Wildlife World Simon King Secret Nester Bird Habitat. This bird's nest was developed in collaboration with British naturalist and wildlife cameraman Simon King, drawing on his extensive experience observing and photographing wildlife. The design principle is that many small birds prefer an open-style nest box with easy access, while also seeking concealment from the prying eyes of predators.

This lightweight bird habitat is suitable for numerous bird species that favor the style of an open-fronted nester. The kit includes everything you need to simply hang it from anywhere. The bird nest pocket can be wired into a hedge or ivy, or attached to a wall using the supplied spare loop of fixing wire.

All bird lovers understand the importance of nesting boxes for providing birds with suitable nesting sites. However, after the nesting season ends, roosting pockets can be even more vital for a bird's survival. Each species has a different roosting behavior, with some choosing to roost alone while others prefer to share body heat and roost in groups. Regardless, they all seek a secure, comfortable, and predator-protected place to sleep.

Cozy roosting spaces out of the prevailing wind in your garden can be a lifesaver for small birds during harsh weather conditions. Without somewhere to shelter and sleep, they use up vital energy reserves just trying to keep warm. To ensure they do keep the worst of the weather out, it is best to position roosting pockets in a sheltered place, preferably facing south or east. They should be secure when fixed, not swinging freely in the wind.

Wildlife World, based in Gloucestershire, UK, designs and manufactures wildlife-friendly products. Their efforts to produce innovative and valuable nesting habitats and feeders for birds, mammals, amphibians, and pollinators benefit wildlife all over the world.

The Secret Nester is ideal for small garden bird species, including titmice, wrens, chickadees, warblers, and finches. It is created from sustainably-sourced materials, such as steel, rattan, and brushwood, making it both lightweight and durable. The base has a rattan landing platform with a low dividing wall separating the nesting or roosting space.

For use when nesting, ensure the nester is clean and locate it away from feeders in a secluded position out of reach of predators. The entrance is open, but the nest space is concealed behind the sidewall and covered by the roof. For use when roosting, in cold weather, site the roosting hut in foliage, out of the prevailing wind, and within 20 feet of feeders.

Securing the habitat in foliage, hedging, or an open out-building is easy using the supplied coil of fixing wire. The brushwood nester measures 145 x 270 x 130mm and weighs only 325g.
