Product description

A protective 5 cm square stainless steel plate to protect the entrance hole to a nestbox. A nestbox plate will prevent larger birds and predators from enlarging the entrance hole to gain access.

You can also use the 25 mm plate to reduce the size of 32 mm nest box entrance holes, making them suitable for small birds such as blue tits.

Too small?
The female blue tit finds it really difficult to get in through the25mm hole, anything up to half an hour of frantic attempts until she finally forces her way in, lands beak first headlong amongst the eggs disturbing them, and starts brooding again. All the wisdom is 25mm is fine for a blue tit, but maybe the females are a bit fatter when egg-laying?

Thanks for your review. The RSPB recommends hole size of 25 mm for blue tits. Blue tits will feel safer and more comfortable in a hole that is around 25 mm, as a hole that is a slight squeeze for them ensures that nothing larger can enter the nest.
