  • Help the declining sparrow population by putting up one of these bird boxes designed especially for house sparrows.
  • Fixed roof to enable the bird nesting box to be fitted right up in the eaves just where the sparrows prefer.
  • These bird nesting boxes are constructed from precision cut FSC certified wooden panels treated with water based environmentally friendly preservative.
  • Each terrace can accommodate three pairs of sparrows nesting together.

In the last few decades the population of house sparrows has declined dramatically. Our sparrow terrace has been designed to provide much-needed nesting places for our endangered House Sparrows. House sparrows nest colonially so up to three pairs may be attracted to, and nest in the bird box.

Whilst the box may appear to be a standard "3 in a row" terrace it can be reconfigured into three separate boxes or into different shapes depending on the shape of the wall on which you wish to fit it (or simply what you prefer). You also have the ability to expand your terrace by simply purchasing one of our House Sparrow Nest Boxes and fitting it onto the end of the sparrow terrace. The box is the ideal size and dimensions for house sparrows with a 32mm entrance hole. It features a fixed roof which enables the box to be fitted right up at the eaves just where the sparrows prefer. The box is easy to fit with concealed keyholes at the back of the box (easy to reach with a screwdriver through the entrance holes). Each box has slide out floor with drainage holes to enable easy cleaning at the end of the nesting season.

The box is constructed from precision cut FSC certified external grade plywood and has been treated with an environmentally friendly preservative which is kind to the birds but helps to ensure a long lasting dry 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.
