Artisan Nester Tahera - Fair Trade Wild Bird Nester

The Tahera, our Artisan Wild Bird Nester range's elegant elongated 'teardrop' model, offers a smaller cavity that is perfect for species of small garden birds who roost alone. Teardrop in shape, it provides a cosy place for birds to roost during the harsh winter months, and in the springtime, small birds may use this Fair Trade product as a nest. The Fair Trade Bird Nester has a sturdy inner frame for support, and strong metal hooks at the rear and a long loop at the top ensure it can be securely fastened.

These features make it easier to site the nester in the natural leaf cover and vegetation of ivy, bushes, trees, or hedges. The nester has a small round entrance reinforced with steel, which is slightly protruding to make it easy for birds to land and perch on. Purchasing our Fair Trade product helps both wildlife and people, as it supports the Artisan workers in Southern Bangladesh who make them, funding the survival of many women and their families from rural communities in desperate poverty.

Handmade to the highest quality finish using natural sea grass and recycled saris, every nester is unique in colour, as each individual artisan chooses the colourful recycled sari pattern, making every nester different. To ensure the best protection against the weather, the bird nester should be positioned in a sheltered space, preferably facing between North and South-East, as a warm, protected roosting space out of the prevailing wind can be a life saver for small birds during cold, harsh weather conditions.

Handwoven and hand stitched onto a metal frame, this Fair Trade product provides essential protection against the weather in winter and may be hung or secured into bushes or shrubs, with an integrated fixing wire for easy installation.
