Semi-open nest box for robin and cave birds - Esat Le Morvan
Semi-open nest box in untreated Morvan Douglas fir, for robins, wrens, gray wagtails, gray flycatchers, black redstarts... 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 better feed their little ones!
For us, these are hours of magical observation every day, and for the vegetable garden, birds like bats are the best natural insecticides!
This semi-open nest box, extremely robust, offers excellent protection for the brood, against bad weather or against predators.
In 15mm PEFC certified Douglas fir, handcrafted by an Esat in Morvan.
