Artisan Bird Nest Box

The Artisan Nest Box, handcrafted and hand-painted by Balinese artisans, brings the beauty of Indonesia to your garden.

Using sustainably sourced SLVK timber and traditional dot painting techniques, each nest box is a stunning work of art. These robust, long-lasting boxes provide a safe habitat for small birds to raise their young spring after spring.

Blue tits, coal tits, and other small birds will appreciate the security of these next boxes to roost in through autumn and winter before nesting in April and May.  Take care not to disturb during this time as any intervention may result in the parent's birds' eggs or young being abandoned.

Siting

The nest box should be sited on a tree, wall or garden fitting at least 1.5m – 2.5m above the ground, preferably in a place where cats and predators cannot access it. The ideal aspect is facing east, SE and NE are also fine. The box should be left empty as wild birds will bring their own nest material into the box.

Maintenance

Wipe away any external dirt with a damp cloth, avoiding anything abrasive. The inside should be cleaned just before the end of September / prior to autumn once any fledglings have left.
