Provide a safe nesting space for Great Tits and other small Irish garden birds.
As natural nesting sites continue to decline across Ireland due to habitat loss and construction, installing a nest box is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help protect our native bird populations.
This Great Tit Nest Box has been designed to meet the specific needs of Great Tits, which require a slightly larger entrance hole (32 mm) than most small garden birds. The box also provides a welcoming home for Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Tree Sparrows, and the occasional Pied Flycatcher. During harsh Irish winters, it can also serve as a refuge for wild birds seeking shelter from the cold, wind, and rain.
Constructed from FSC-approved pine and finished with environmentally friendly paint, this nest box combines sustainability with strength. Its sturdy bitumen roof offers excellent protection against the elements, while the side-opening door makes autumn cleaning simple and safe.
