Bird Boxes

Support Scotland's declining bird populations with our comprehensive range of professional nest boxes, designed to meet the specific breeding requirements of Scottish bird species. From declining house sparrows to territorial robins, each box is carefully selected and professionally installed to maximise breeding success and long-term habitat value.

Scottish Bird Conservation Priority

Addressing Population Decline: Many Scottish bird species face significant breeding challenges, with house sparrows declining by over 60% since the 1970s and barn owls requiring specialist nesting sites increasingly rare in modern landscapes. Our species-specific approach targets conservation priorities while enhancing your property's wildlife credentials.

Breeding Success Optimisation: Every box installation includes comprehensive site assessment to determine optimal positioning for species-specific requirements - height, orientation, predator protection, and territorial considerations essential for successful breeding outcomes.

Year-Round Habitat Value: Professional nest boxes provide essential winter roosting sites and breeding territories, supporting resident populations while attracting new breeding pairs to enhance local biodiversity throughout the year.

Comprehensive Species Range

General Garden Bird Boxes

Multi-species boxes with 25mm and 32mm entrance holes accommodate blue tits, great tits, coal tits, and tree sparrows. Premium timber construction with predator-resistant designs and removable inspection panels for annual maintenance.

House Sparrow Terraces

Specialised communal nesting boxes reflecting house sparrows' social breeding behaviour. Multi-compartment designs with species-appropriate entrance sizes and internal dimensions optimised for successful colony establishment in declining urban populations.

Robin Boxes

Open-fronted designs specifically configured for robins' territorial breeding requirements. Strategic positioning guidance ensures optimal territory establishment while protecting nests from predators and weather exposure.

Barn Owl Boxes

Large-capacity breeding boxes suitable for agricultural and rural settings. Designed to meet barn owls' specific dimensional requirements with drainage, ventilation, and access considerations essential for successful breeding in Scottish conditions.

Tawny Owl Boxes

Woodland-specific nest boxes for Scotland's most common owl species. Positioned at optimal heights with entrance dimensions and internal capacity matched to tawny owl breeding behaviour and territorial requirements.

Professional Installation Excellence

Height & Orientation Precision: Each species requires specific installation parameters - from 1.5m robin boxes to 4-5m owl installations. Professional service includes safety equipment and expertise for secure mounting at optimal heights.

Site-Specific Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation of habitat suitability, existing territory boundaries, predator considerations, and seasonal factors affecting breeding success. Installation positioned for maximum species attraction and long-term utilisation.

Seasonal Timing Coordination: Installations scheduled to avoid disturbing existing territories while ensuring availability for peak breeding seasons.

Species-Specific Features

Entrance Hole Precision: Critical dimension matching to target species while excluding competitors and predators. 25mm holes for smaller species, 32mm for great tits, open-fronted for robins, and large access for owl species.

Internal Dimensions: Each box type features species-appropriate internal space for comfortable breeding, chick development, and adult movement. Ventilation and drainage designed for Scottish climate conditions.

Predator Protection: Anti-predator features including entrance hole protectors, internal baffles, and strategic mounting systems to maximise breeding success rates against natural predation pressures.

NPF4 Biodiversity Compliance

Measurable Enhancement: Professional bird box installations provide quantifiable biodiversity improvements suitable for NPF4 policy compliance. Each installation includes species monitoring guidance and success documentation.

Native Species Focus: All targeted species are Scottish natives requiring enhanced breeding opportunities. Box installations directly support local population recovery and habitat connectivity objectives.

Long-Term Habitat Creation: Established nest box networks create sustained breeding territories, contributing to measurable biodiversity enhancement over multiple breeding seasons for compliance reporting.

Comprehensive Service Package

Annual Maintenance Option: Professional cleaning and inspection services ensure continued box utilisation and breeding success. Autumn maintenance scheduling prevents disturbance to active territories.

Breeding Monitoring Guides: Detailed species identification and activity monitoring information enables tracking of breeding success and habitat utilisation for personal satisfaction or compliance documentation.

Expansion Planning: Strategic advice for multi-year habitat development, creating networks of breeding territories to support growing bird populations across your property.
