Collection: Bird Box Hole Protectors

Birds are not the only wildlife that might try to access your bird boxes. Predators like squirrels, rats, mice, stoats and woodpeckers may also try to get inside to get eggs, nestlings and even adult birds who are more vulnerable when they are caring for their chicks. Birds, including sparrows and starlings, might also try to take over the nests of smaller birds, like tits. Metal plates fixed around the entrance hole of wooden boxes will help to deter them.

Enhance your garden's bird-friendly environment with nest boxes that cater to various bird species. By offering nest boxes with different hole sizes and adding hole protectors, you can provide a safe haven for both small and large birds, ensuring they have secure places to shelter and thrive.

Catering for all

Smaller holes are used by small birds, whilst larger holes accommodate bigger species. By having nest boxes for both smaller and larger species, your garden can accommodate different types of birds, whilst ensuring the smaller, less dominant species have their own safe space. Using a hole restrictor can also deter predators trying to increase the hole size to gain access.

Bird box hole protectors with Ark Wildlife

At Ark Wildlife, we want to equip you with the tools to make the most out of the bird boxes in your garden. By provisioning safe places for birds to shelter, you can help to support local wildlife.

Added protection

Bird box hole protectors are designed to add another layer of protection to nests which can be easy targets for predators. They can also be used if you wish to reduce the hole size of one of your nesting boxes to attract different species. As well as giving you the chance to customise your nest boxes, they also help to reduce wear and tear, increasing the life of your next box.
