Wildlife World Simon King Secret Nester Bird Habitat Roosting Pocket

Description

The dual-purpose Wildlife World Simon King Secret Nester Bird Habitat is the perfect addition to any bird-friendly backyard. This bird's nest was developed in conjunction with British naturalist and wildlife cameraman Simon King, using his many years of knowledge watching and photographing wildlife. The design principle is that many small birds prefer an open style nest box with easy access. These backyard birds also like to be concealed from the prying eyes of predators. This lightweight bird habitat is suitable for many bird species that prefer the style of an open-fronted nester. This kit includes everything you need to simply hang from anywhere. The bird nest pocket can be wired into a hedge or ivy, or attached to a wall using the supplied spare loop of fixing wire. All bird lovers understand the importance of nesting boxes for providing birds with suitable nesting sites. But after the nesting season comes to an end, roosting pockets can be even more vital for a bird’s survival. Each species has a different roosting behaviour. Some will choose to roost alone whereas others will favor sharing body heat and roost in groups. The one thing they all look for is somewhere to sleep that is secure, comfortable and will protect them from potential predators. Cozy roosting spaces out of the prevailing wind in your garden can be a lifesaver for small birds during harsh weather conditions. Without somewhere to shelter and sleep they use up vital energy reserves just trying to keep warm. To ensure they do keep the worst of the weather out, it is best to position roosting pockets in a sheltered place, preferably facing south or east. They should be secure when they are fixed, not swinging freely in the wind. Hang this nest to a tree or post, or use the included wire to attach to hedge or ivy.
