What is it?
A woven wicker Blackbird Nester Bowl with sturdy metal frame, that forms the perfect platform for Blackbirds to start a nest in your garden. Easy to hang in shrubs and hedges, or it can be mounted on a fence or shed in a quiet position. Brushwood base allows the nester to drain.

How does it help?
The design of the Blackbird nester bowl is based on years of field observations by naturalist Simon King. As Blackbirds are fiercely territorial and mate for life, the site they choose to build their nest is crucial to breeding success. Most birds, including Blackbirds, look for secluded positions to raise their young. Tucked high up at the back of an open log shed, inside a quiet porch or hidden against an ivy-clad wall are all good spots to try.

Sean says:
“Blackbird nests consist of a solid cup of plant materials mixed with mud, lined with finer grasses and other materials found locally. Simple ideas like this nester bowl can give Blackbirds a head start at a really critical time of year."
