Blackbird Nester

Blackbird Nester

The Blackbird nester is a wonderful addition to any garden, providing a safe and inviting space for these beautiful songbirds to nest and raise their young. Here are a few more tips on how to encourage these lovely creatures into your garden using this specially designed nester:

1.Choose the Right Location:
As you mentioned, blackbirds prefer secluded and elevated spots for nesting. Install the nester on a vertical surface like a shed, fence, post, or tree, making sure it's at a height between 1.5m to 3m off the ground. The back of an open log shed or a quiet porch are excellent choices. For robins and spotted flycatchers, consider well-hidden spots in vegetation, an open shed, or under the eaves of a building.

2.Create a Welcoming Environment:
Blackbirds, robins, wagtails, and spotted flycatchers are more likely to stay in an area where they can find food, water, and shelter. Planting dense shrubs, installing bird feeders, and having a water source nearby can make your garden even more attractive to these birds.

3.Be Patient and Observant:
Once you've installed the nester, be patient. It might take some time for the birds to discover and trust the new addition to their environment. Spend some quiet moments observing from a distance, and you might be rewarded with the sight of these birds making a home in the nester.

4.Maintenance and Monitoring:
Keep an eye on the nester, especially during nesting seasons. Avoid disturbing the area too much, as birds are sensitive to human presence. Make sure the nester remains secure and undisturbed, allowing the birds to raise their young in peace.

5.Share the Joy:
If you're fortunate enough to have these birds nest in your garden, enjoy the experience from a distance. Birdwatching can be a rewarding and calming hobby, allowing you to connect with nature and appreciate the wonders of the avian world.

By providing a safe and suitable nesting space through the Blackbird nester and creating an inviting habitat, you'll not only attract blackbirds but also a variety of other garden birds, enhancing the natural beauty and biodiversity of your outdoor space. Happy birdwatching!
