Nest Box 2M

Free-hanging, to protect against Cats and deter Martens

Like the Nest Box 1B, this box also has a brood chamber with an internal diameter of 12 cm. It differs, however, in that it can be freely suspended and has a conical roof. These features protect against Cats and Deter Martens. It is very popular in private gardens and especially around fruit trees, mainly in areas where the trees are short and have many branches.
The front panels of the 1B and 2M are interchangeable. The different sized entrance holes can be matched to the predominant species of Birds in the locality. The 2M is supplied with the ordered hanger. With the FT Hanger the 2M is supplied with all the necessary attachments and three Aluminium Nails.
Product alternatively available with front panel for protection against Martens, product No. see price list.
