Wildlife World Simon King Brushwood Nester Bird Habitat Roosting Pocket, Brown

This is lovely. It has a little roof inside, well made and strong wire to attach it to branches. I've put it up in a bay tree, facing east, pretty much hidden. So will see what happens. Robins had a successful nest on the floor of my greenhouse this year, so am hoping this is an upgrade.

I got this during the very cold snap recently as I have a robin in the garden. As the temperature dropped to minus 7 degrees I noticed he was following me all around the garden.I figured because the ground was frozen he couldn't peck for food in the soil. That made me realise there was little shelter from the cold as all the trees had dropped their leaves. I wondered where he was sleeping at night to protect against the cold .I couldn't find anywhere obvious that was his nest so I bought this one for him.It's made of twigs and quite roomy for a small bird to build a nest inside. It also has a rainproof roof.I don't know if he used it as I didn't want to intrude in case he felt threatened by my presence but he survived the two weeks of below freezing weather with the help of shelter and regular food I put out.For the price it's good value for money and it looks natural among the trees. You can also fix it to a shed or somewhere similar.

Fabulous little birdie house. Feels quite strong and sturdy. Has a few sharp bits sticking out on the inside which we cut off. It does have a small piece of black weather proof plastic on the top which I don’t feel is large enough and I think the back should be covered too. We put 2 small butchers hooks in it to support it to a trellis. Let’s see if the robin likes it. On the whole it’s nice but I think a bit expensive.

Very nice product. Carefully packaged.

Am afraid I am disappointed with this product. I have huge respect for Simon King and had assumed this would be a quality product. However, whilst the concept is great, the finish is NOT. There are many sharp edges, which could endanger birds using it - both the material which it is made from but even pieces of wire from clips used to hold the material in place are sticking out dangerously. I am not even convinced it will be waterproof and am debating whether to add a piece of the dreaded plastic to the top. To save the bother of returning it, I will keep it but will have to use secateurs to cut back sharp edges and bend the wire clips to make it safer. Such a shame.

Really good quality, no sharp edges like some others have reported, looks good

I fittes it with some main roots of the climbing plants, it is very stable, easy to fix and looks very naturally. Am looking forward to seeing if the robins are going to nest in it in the next spring.

It looks great. I fixed it in a trellis and it has been up a few months. I may have missed nesting season as it has been largely overlooked and never used. Fingers crossed some bird, any bird, will move in! It is well made and of sound construction.
