  • This bird box is designed to provide a comfortable home for most common garden birds.
  • This nesting box is available in three different hole sizes to allow you to select the hole size for the species you want to attract.
  • Constructed from precision cut FSC certified softwood panels treated with water based environmentally friendly preservative.

As natural sites are becoming more scarce why not encourage birds to nest in your garden by providing them with a comfortable bird box? The Apex bird nesting box has a fixed roof and sides and incorporates a slide-out floor, ventilation and drainage.

Fixing to the wall or tree is easy with a concealed mounting hole in the back of the box (located opposite the entrance hole for easy access). Often this is the only fixing needed, but two further holes are provided at the base for use when necessary.

These nesting bird boxes are available in three hole sizes 25mm, 28mm and 32mm.

The 25mm hole is primarily suitable for the smallest tit species i.e. Blue Tit, Coal Tit and Marsh Tit whilst the 28mm will attract all these species but the hole is also large enough for Great Tits, Crested Tits and Tree Sparrows. The larger 32mm will attract a large range of species including Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Marsh Tit, House Sparrow, Great Tit, Nuthatch and Pied Flycatcher.

These bird nest boxes are constructed from precision cut FSC certified European softwood and have been treated with an environmentally friendly preservative which is kind to the birds but helps ensure a long lasting dry and comfortable nest box.

In partnership with The Nestbox Company

A family-run business, supporting UK wildlife since 1996.

nature first since 1996

We aim for our boxes to provide the best accommodation for wildlife and our primary concern with all our products is that they should be designed appropriately for their target species.

Our boxes replicate as far as possible the conditions which are found in natural nest and roost sites.

designed by experts

Before we design any box we consider the requirements of the proposed inhabitants through reviews of published studies and consultation with experts in their field.

Combined with our experience of designing and manufacturing boxes and customer feedback we produce what we hope are boxes which offer the best accommodation for wildlife.

During the development of our products we are grateful to have received input of various kinds from many sources including, amongst others, the RSPB, the Barn Owl Trust, the University of Warwick, ZSL London Zoo, Staffordshire University, the Bat Conservation Trust, Aston University, the People's Trust for Endangered Species, Coventry University and the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.

made in britain

We started making nest boxes in 1996 based in a shed in Herefordshire. Since then, we’ve grown in size to become one of the largest producers of roost, nest, and wildlife boxes in the UK.

The Nestbox Company is run by father and sons; Peter, Tristan and Damian.

We manufacture our products in our own rural workshops, and combine modern production technology, with traditional hand finishing.
