Wildlife World Robin Teapot Nester

Product Information

The best nesting boxes for robins differ slightly from the conventional boxes that you might be used to seeing. Robins won’t think about using a box with a small entrance hole, preferring an open-fronted box instead. The prevailing wind will normally hit us from the west, bringing with it the rain. This is why we not only face nesting boxes to the north but also the east.

I mounted a little ceramic teapot nester in the ivy outside my conservatory. It had been there about three years, with nothing taking any interest. In Feb, I noticed that there was moss in there and, on closer examination, realised that there was an almost complete nest in there! I was pretty sure it was a robin and a trail cam confirmed this. I then set up a camera and gradually moved it closer and closer, ensuring it did not disturb her building. It is a beautiful nest and a lovely image on the camera. The half oval, open entrance is what will initially attract robins to this nesting box. Once they discover it they will be treated with cosiness and warmth. There are even a couple of ventilation holes in the base to increase airflow and prevent the build-up of condensation. This is particularly useful if you choose to pop a viewing camera inside. Their decision is based on the proximity of food, water, shelter, and nesting materials. They want somewhere to invite their mating partner and safely raise their young. So while the bird box must be fixed up to 2 metres off the ground; bury the Robin nest box deep in growth or else you'll see little success with nesting Robins.

The position of any bird nesting box is quite important. It might even surprise you how low to the ground some birds like to nest. Find The Right Height As normal drainage holes are applied to the floor of the box, the only way to access the bird box for maintenance is through the large open front. While the floor of the Robin natural log nest is sealed up with a plank of wood, so is the roof with additional overhang to protect Robins from the elements.
