Product description
Beautifully made FSC® certified pine wood nest box designed with Starlings in mind. The wood contains a high proportion of natural resins to help protect it.
The 45mm entry hole allows the larger birds to nest in the box. Features include drainage holes and one side that pivots open for easy end-of-season cleaning.
Starlings are on the UK Red List for birds of conservation concern, as their numbers have severely declined across the UK in recent years. Putting up a Starling nest box is a brilliant way to help this threatened species.
- Nest box measures 31cm (H) x 25cm (W) x 20cm (D).
- Made from FSC® certified timber.
Installing your nest box
For secure and stable fixing, there are two hanging tabs attached to the back of the nestbox, one at the top and one at the bottom. These tabs make it quick and easy to securely fix it in place. Screws not supplied.
With a wide range of expertly-designed bird houses to choose from, you can easily provide a safe, welcoming home in your garden for different wild birds. RSPB Shop also provides advice on where to locate your bird house. Help us give nature a home!

- advice
RSPB nest boxes are made with thick timber and will survive for many years, even without the use of preservatives.
If you do want to protect your nestbox further, use a water-based preservative (preferably one that complies with standard EN71 part 3 as safe for children's toys). Such paint/preservative types are clearly marked on the container, and are available from DIY stores and hardware shops.
Preservatives should only be applied to the outside of the box. Apply in the winter, when there is a low likelihood of occupancy. This will allow time for any remaining volatile components to evaporate.
For more information about siting a nest box please see the Advice section of the main RSPB website.
