  • A versatile large bird box designed to attract a range of species including jackdaws, tree nesting ducks, doves and pigeons.
  • Constructed from precision cut FSC certified panels treated with water based environmentally friendly preservative.
  • Featuring large front aperture and hinged lid for easy access.

These large bird boxes are approximately three times the size of a our small bird nest boxes and have been designed to provide nesting sites for a range of larger bird species which require a bigger bird nesting box. Depending on where you site it and the range of species present you may find it occupied by jackdaws, doves or pigeons. It’s also the ideal size for tree nesting ducks such as goosanders and goldeneye. Even mallards have been known to have nested in boxes in trees.

This versatile bird box which can house many of the larger garden birds comes with lift up lid for easy access for cleaning etc. and features a drained floor to ensure inhabitants stay warm and dry. These bird nesting boxes are constructed from precision cut FSC certified external grade plywood and have been treated with an environmentally friendly preservative which is kind to the birds but helps to ensure a long lasting dry and comfortable bird nesting 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.
