This bird house constructed using tough, long lasting recycled plastic has a less common open front design that is more appealing to blackbirds, thrushes, wagtails and robins, all of which, prefer an open fronted nesting box.

Some of these birds would naturally look for nesting sites in dense hedges and shrubs; to give your open fronted nest box the best chance of success in attracting occupants, give some serious thought to its location and if possible, create a similar environment. You can add greatly to your birds nest boxes appeal (appealing to the birds that is), simply by hiding it in vegetation; for example, hide your recycled plastic nesting box in the ivy, creepers, roses etc. that's climbing up your wall, strong fence, or your tree. Please also make sure your open front nest box is out of reach of cats. If the cats are yours, please put a bell on their collars to help give the birds and other wildlife a better chance of getting away.

Many of our countries birds and other native animals are in trouble and erecting bird boxes is just one of the great ways you can help to provide a lifeline. Scattering a pack of wild flower seeds (quite a few are absolutely beautiful) and/or planting a couple of native shrubs or trees will all help to replace a little of the habitat that is disappearing and some natural food for the wildlife you're trying to attract. There is no reason why even the smallest city garden, couldn't be made attractive to wild birds and other animals.

Bird boxes are also ideal for introducing children to birds and teaching them to take an interest and care for wildlife.
