I was first at the local hardware store to inform me about the nest box offer. The result: For the most part noble kitschy mass-produced, the one looks, that maybe they just survived a winter - but all with the argument "handmade" at very high prices. After this disappointment, I was then able to find on Amazon. I focused in particular on a weatherproof roof of bird home, so I opted for the GARDMANN nestbox orchard. This produced in England product is just great, I was out of the box immediately impressed! Clean processing, two different flight pinhole, and a stable Kunstoffdach that looks like a real slate shingles. Very praise is also the hidden bayonet hole on the rear panel, with which it is easy, secure hang the nest box with only one shot in the trunk brass screw and comfortably take in the spring for the purpose of cleaning. I recommend anyway to replace the standard screws equally by stainless copies, because you have to unscrew the roof from time to time (for cleaning or to replace the flight pinhole). The brown stained nesting boxes are nestled in my dense hazel hedge, and I am sure that extra now my tits for you for this wedding gift many nasty caterpillars from the garden.
