Wildlife World Brushwood Nester

Really good quality, no sharp edges like some others have reported, looks good

Good quality and value

This is a neat "natural look" nester. I got mine for some robins that had just started to build a nest in my garage when I'd left the window open for a day or two. If they move in they should have quite a comfy home. We'll see. My only criticism really is that the wire to attach it with comes from a single point on the back, and is very thin, so I'm not sure how secure it would be just using that. I used some extra wire to hold the entire box in place under my eaves.

This is lovely. It has a little roof inside, well made and strong wire to attach it to branches. I've put it up in a bay tree, facing east, pretty much hidden. So will see what happens. Robins had a successful nest on the floor of my greenhouse this year, so am hoping this is an upgrade.

Am afraid I am disappointed with this product. I have huge respect for Simon King and had assumed this would be a quality product. However, whilst the concept is great, the finish is NOT. There are many sharp edges, which could endanger birds using it - both the material which it is made from but even pieces of wire from clips used to hold the material in place are sticking out dangerously. I am not even convinced it will be waterproof and am debating whether to add a piece of the dreaded plastic to the top. To save the bother of returning it, I will keep it but will have to use secateurs to cut back sharp edges and bend the wire clips to make it safer. Such a shame.

Natural looking bird house ideal for Robins and birds that like a more open house. We've secured within a Jasmine bush on the fence and regularly see Robins checking it out. Easy to fix and has lasted for a year or more.

I got this during the very cold snap recently as I have a robin in the garden. As the temperature dropped to minus 7 degrees I noticed he was following me all around the garden. I figured because the ground was frozen he couldn't peck for food in the soil. That made me realise there was little shelter from the cold as all the trees had dropped their leaves. I wondered where he was sleeping at night to protect against the cold . I couldn't find anywhere obvious that was his nest so I bought this one for him. It's made of twigs and quite roomy for a small bird to build a nest inside. It also has a rainproof roof. I don't know if he used it as I didn't want to intrude in case he felt threatened by my presence but he survived the two weeks of below freezing weather with the help of shelter and regular food I put out. For the price it's good value for money and it looks natural among the trees. You can also fix it to a shed or somewhere similar.

This bird box convinced the resident robins of our garden to put down roots in the very first season that we put it up. I eagerly but cautiously watched on as best I could as the robins hurried to and from the evergreen shrub which I concealed the nest. One day I noticed that the nest looked very disturbed and messy and it had indeed been disturbed. The nest cup and been pulled out and upwards onto the roof of the nest box by our resident magpies and the eggs were destroyed. As you can imagine I felt awful, I even felt I had caused it by encouraging the robins to nest in a certain location. My mistake was not protecting the roof of the nest. If you use this nest and if you want to attract robins I think you should, you need to make sure nothing can stand on the roof and reach down into the nest. How you do that is up to you but I ensure you that it is essential that you do it.
