Support Ireland’s House Sparrow population with this communal terrace nest box.
Did you know that House Sparrows prefer to nest in small colonies? These sociable birds enjoy nesting side by side, so providing a terrace-style nest box is one of the best ways to help them thrive in your garden.
House Sparrow numbers have declined sharply in recent years due to a loss of natural nesting spaces caused by modern building design. This wooden terrace nest box has been designed to replicate their natural nesting preferences, offering three safe, adjoining compartments where multiple sparrow pairs can nest together.
Made from durable pinewood with a zinc roof, it’s built to withstand Ireland’s weather and provide long-term shelter. Sparrows often make two or three breeding attempts each year, and in the colder months, the box also serves as a cosy winter roost for resting and protection from storms.
Perfect for House Sparrows – terrace design encourages communal nesting.
Supports biodiversity – helps reverse the decline of Ireland’s sparrow population.
Durable & weather-resistant – pinewood body with a protective zinc roof.
