BALCONY NESTHOUSE FOR BLUE, BLACK, CRUSHED AND GREAT TITS - ESAT LE MORVAN
Balcony nest box in untreated Morvan Douglas fir, entrance diameter 28 mm, for blue tits, black tits, barnacles or crested tits, and many other small cave dwellers, developed with the support of the protection league birds.
The modification of our landscapes, the disappearance of hedges, the intensification of urbanization, have caused the scarcity of natural sites suitable for the nesting of many birds.
In town or in the countryside, installing a nest box helps them find a place and spend less energy making their nest.
For a pair of birds, spending less energy means having more for searching for food, and better feeding their young!
For us, these are hours of magical observation every day, and for the vegetable garden, birds like bats are the best natural insecticides!
This extremely robust balcony nest box offers excellent protection for the brood, against bad weather or against predators who will not have access to the bottom of the nest.
