A ring to hang the fat balls, a space for the seeds.
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!
