Compact Wildlife Cabin for Nature Enthusiasts

The Simon King Cabin Nester design is tailored to suit the nesting preferences of many smaller wild bird species, such as robins, wrens, and flycatchers. These birds typically favor an open-style nesting site with easy access, yet one that is also concealed from the prying eyes of predators like magpies.

The Cabin Nester's key features include an open entrance door and a secluded nest space tucked behind the side wall, providing the ideal balance between accessibility and protection. In addition to nesting, small garden birds may also use the cabin as a shelter from harsh weather conditions, allowing them to conserve essential body fat that aids their survival.

The cabin's sturdy metal frame and cozy, waterproof roof liner ensure its durability and weather-resistance. The rattan landing platform and low wall create a clear division between the entrance and the roosting or nesting space, further enhancing the birds' sense of security.

According to Simon King, the Cabin Nester should be positioned between half a metre and three metres high, depending on the target species. For spotted flycatchers, a slightly higher placement may be preferred. The nester can be conveniently installed in a variety of locations, such as a shrub, bush, fence, or even an ivy-clad wall, thanks to the included loop of wire for securing it in place.

The Cabin Nester's design is the result of Simon King's expertise and consideration for the specific nesting requirements of smaller wild bird species. By providing a safe, accessible, and concealed nesting environment, the Cabin Nester aims to support the successful breeding and survival of these important garden bird populations.
