CUBE NESTHOUSE FOR CAVERNICOLOUS BIRDS - ESAT LE MORVAN
Cube birdhouse to hang. In untreated Morvan Douglas pine, entrance diameter 32 mm, for great tits, nuthatches, tree or house sparrows, white-fronted redstarts, etc... developed with the support of the League for the Protection of 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 thus 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 nest box offers excellent protection for the brood against bad weather or against predators.
