Vivara Pro Malmo Woodpecker Nest Box

This nest box is made from a hollowed-out birch log which will blend in naturally in most garden environments and is perfect for Great Spotted Woodpeckers and suitable for Woodpeckers in general. It comes with a small, drilled hole already in place, specially designed to encourage Woodpeckers to expand it to a size that is suitable for them, as they would in the wild. The box can also be lined with a layer of forest soil or peat to encourage nesting.

These nest boxes are specially designed to help park, woodland, and garden birds, including common birds such as Great Tits, Blue Tits, and Robins; declining red-listed species such as Starlings and House Sparrows; and for use as specialist boxes for species such as Woodpeckers and Treecreepers.

Many of the nest boxes in this range use a material called WoodStone®, which is a combination of concrete and FSC certified wood. Using WoodStone® means the nest boxes are attractive and durable while providing greater insulation than traditional wooden nest boxes.

This aids the stabilisation of the temperature inside the box, protecting it from external daily fluctuations; a clear advantage for nestlings, incubating birds, and birds that use nest boxes as winter roosting sites.

WoodStone® nest boxes are also breathable, preventing condensation issues while still protecting any occupants from rain and wind. Birds may be able to start nesting earlier in boxes made of this material, with more young fledging successfully. Their sturdy construction is also a deterrent to nest box predators such as woodpeckers and grey squirrels.
