Duck Nesting Basket

What is it?
These attractive hand-woven, sturdy, wicker duck baskets provide shelter and a safe nesting site for ducks and moorhens. Put your nesting basket in place during winter, ready for the breeding season to come.

Fixings not included.

How does it help?
Simply place at the edge of the water, ensuring it is above the flood plain and amongst dense vegetation. If suitable low ground is unavailable, the basket can also be secured to a strong branch or other suitable support structure no higher than a metre above the water.

Sean says:
“If we’re providing man made nesting options for our garden visitors, it’s vital to have the ‘right’ box or nest. Shortage of space, poor construction and flimsy materials in a nest (no matter how attractive) can be deadly to a brood. These questions are always critical when I select new products for Ark.”

Helpful – Caring – Responsible

When Sean McMenemy started Noah’s Ark Wildlife Gardens as a landscaping business back in 1991, little did he know what a huge impact he was to make on the bird feeding and garden wildlife industries over the following decades.

Over 30-years later he still brings the same passion for garden wildlife to work every day, so it’s no wonder we’re so highly respected. Our expertise lies in providing carefully selected natural food and products that offer significant benefits to wildlife – with the type of customer service only true enthusiasm for our subject can bring.

Meeting a demand for natural, nutritious wildlife food

In those early days, Sean constantly received requests for help in making his clients’ natural gardens more wildlife friendly. Requests for bird food encouraged Sean to research bird feeding, and at that time he found problems in the market with quality and service. He knew then the only way forward was to create his own natural, nutritious range of wildlife food and present it in a way which benefited both the wildlife and the customer. Ark Wildlife was born.

The company has steadily grown since those early days, now standing as one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of bird food and garden wildlife products, despatching over 500 parcels per day across the United Kingdom.

Exceptional service, because we care more than we can put into words

No matter how large our business is now, Ark Wildlife aims to combine the convenience of an online mail order outlet with the caring, helpful touch of a specialist shop. Our people make the difference. We take great pride in the energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our ever-growing workforce, still led by our inspirational driving force, Sean. If you read through some of Sean’s blog posts you will see how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares for the welfare of our wildlife.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the diameter of the entrance hole?

A: The entrance hole diameter is 170mm.

Q: How many eggs will a duck lay before sitting on them?

A: Ducks can lay anywhere from 8 to 15 eggs depending on the breed.
