Many small wild bird species, such as robins, wrens and flycatchers, prefer an open-style nesting site with easy access and concealed from the prying eyes of predators.
The Simon King Cabin design features both an open entrance door and a secluded nest space behind the sidewall. In addition to nesting, small birds may use the cabin as a shelter from harsh weather. In finding cover, they can save essential body fat, which aids their survival.
A metal frame gives the cabin strength, and the roof has a cosy liner. The rattan landing platform & low wall provide the divide between the entrance and roosting or nesting space.
Simon King says:
“I would position your Cabin Nester between half a metre and three metres high for most species, unless it is for spotted flycatchers, which will need it a little higher still. You can position it in a shrub, a bush, up against a fence or an ivy-clad wall.”
