Seattle Predator Proof Nest Box
Designed to protect. Built to give chicks the best chance of survival.
This innovative nest box is expertly engineered to reduce predation and dramatically improve fledging success. A cleverly designed internal tunnel and right-aligned entrance hole make it extremely difficult for predators such as cats, squirrels, and pine martens to reach inside the nest.
Small birds like Great Tits and Nuthatches can easily navigate the two-turn tunnel to reach the nesting chamber — but larger birds and mammals simply can’t twist and stretch their way through.
Nest predation is far more common than many realise, with studies showing up to 20% of nests are affected. The Seattle Predator Protection Nest Box was created in response to this ongoing loss, offering a safer alternative that genuinely makes a difference.

Installation tips:
Mount between 2–4 metres high on a wall or tree, ideally facing north to northeast. Avoid strong sunlight and exposed, windy spots. Tilt the box slightly forward so the roof can effectively deflect rain.
