Starlings are one of our best loved garden birds. Many remain in the UK for the whole year with more arriving to over-winter here. Starlings are a Red List species due to their decline over recent years both in the UK and across much of Northern Europe. A reduction in natural cavities and changes to building construction methods, mean that Starling nest sites have become rare, so providing new nesting sites is a great way to help this species. Starlings are gregarious birds and prefer to nest in colonies, so grouping several boxes together will encourage occupancy.

This Vivara Pro WoodStone® Starling Nest Box is manufactured from a mixture of concrete and FSC Certified wood fibres. This durable material is resistant to rot, provides increased thermal insulation and protection from predators. WoodStone® is also breathable, ensuring the nesting chamber maintains optimum temperature and humidity levels. Covered by a 10 year guarantee.

The 45mm hole is the ideal size for Starlings.

Siting:
This nest box has a 45mm diameter entrance hole which makes it ideal for starlings. It should be sited on an external wall or tree at a height of at least 1.5m using an aluminium nail or screw and wall plug (not included). Site near to vegetation if possible as this will provide additional protection and cover.

Dimensions:
Height: 385mm
Width: 220mm
Depth: 215mm

Weight:
7.5kg approx.

The Vivara Pro WoodStone® Starling Nest Box is Brown with a White front panel.

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

Where is the best place to site a starling nest box?

For best results, site the box between 3-6 meters high, facing east to southeast (away from prevailing winds) and ensure a clear flight path.

Generally, starlings breed from March to July. It is best to clean during late August early September after ensuring there is no further activity in the nest.
