Blackbird Open Nest Box
Give blackbirds a peaceful, protected place to raise their young.
Beautifully crafted for blackbirds and other open-nesting garden birds, this nest box is designed with a sheltered ledge instead of a narrow entrance hole. Its open front and deep interior recreate the natural nesting sites found in hedges, ivy, and dense shrubs.
Made from durable, responsibly sourced wood, the nest box provides excellent insulation and reliable protection from the elements. An angled roof helps deflect rain, while the solid construction allows it to be securely fixed to a tree, wall, or fence.

Open-front design ideal for blackbirds, robins, and wagtails

Where to place it
Position the nest box so it is sheltered from strong wind, heavy rain, and direct sunlight. The front of the box should be angled slightly downwards to help prevent rain from entering. When installing, use galvanised or stainless steel screws or nails to avoid rusting. Ensure the box is placed out of reach of cats and squirrels, and install it high up on a wall—at least 3 metres above the ground—for added protection.
When to clean your nest box
-
Clean once a year, ideally in autumn (September–October) after the breeding season, be sure that the nest box is empty before disturbing.
-
Never clean during spring or summer when birds may be nesting
