Advantages:
- Trusted: Approved by environmental organizations in Europe
- Improve survival: helps protect nesting birds
- Predator protection: the hole remains protected against enlargement

Material:
All my creations are designed and manufactured by me using PETG, a durable material – more modern than wood!

• Durable: resists sun, rain, and frost without damage.
• Hygienic: easy to clean, no mold or parasites.
• Design: lightweight, strong, and aesthetic, with a modern style.

I chose to make my creations from PETG because, unlike PLA (which some sellers use), PETG perfectly withstands climatic conditions such as humidity, heat, UV rays, and frost...

Ultra-resistant outdoors: Fears neither frost, rain, nor summer sun (unlike PLA, which deforms in heat).

Healthy & hygienic for wildlife: Smooth and non-porous surface, ultra-easy to wipe clean to prevent disease transmission.

Professional durability: A technical and unbreakable material designed to stay outdoors all year round, season after season.

Zero maintenance: No need for varnish, stain, or chemical treatments toxic to birds.

The electricity for manufacturing is supplied by solar panels during the day and by decarbonized energy for the rest of the time!

Have a question?

It fulfills two essential roles:

Effective protection against predators: It secures access to the nest box by preventing undesirable creatures (such as woodpeckers or rodents) from enlarging the entrance hole to attack the brood.

A unique aesthetic touch: With its original sun-shaped design, it brings irresistible charm to your nest box and garden.

The protective plate is very simply attached with screws directly to the front of your nesting box.

It already has small, strategically placed holes to make your job easier. All you have to do is:

Place the plate, perfectly aligning its central opening with the entrance hole of your nesting box.

Screw the screws in firmly to press the plate against the wood.

Once screwed in, it becomes one with the nesting box and perfectly resists predator attacks!

The diameter and location of your nesting box's entrance hole will determine which species will take up residence there. The plate simply adapts to the existing diameter to secure it.

Here are the birds you can attract to your home based on the diameter of your model's hole:

- 28 mm diameter: Ideal for small tits (blue tit, crested tit, coal tit).

- 32 mm diameter: Perfect for great tits, house sparrows, or European pied flycatchers.

- 34 mm diameter: Suitable for slightly larger birds like tree sparrows or Eurasian nuthatches.

Orientation: East or South-East, to shelter the nest box from prevailing winds and rain while avoiding overheating.

Height: Between 2 and 3 meters from the ground to keep the brood out of reach of cats and predators.

Environment: A quiet place, away from thoroughfares and feeders to limit stress for the parents.

Position: Slightly tilted forward to prevent rain from entering through the entrance hole.

Here's why it's useful in every season:

In spring (nesting season): This is the crucial time when the plate actively protects eggs, and then chicks, from predator attacks.

In autumn and winter: Birds use it as an essential shelter to protect themselves from cold, rain, and wind during the night. The louvre also blocks access to rodents that might try to settle in for the winter.

Extra tip: Install your nest box in autumn or early winter. This gives birds time to scope out the location and get used to it well before the start of mating season in spring!
