'Home is where you hang it!' - Introducing the Simon King Wreath Nester
Wildlife World is proud to present the brand-new Simon King Wreath Nester to their wildlife product line-up. An innovative new take on the traditional wreath, achieved by combining it with an open-fronted nesting pocket!
25th January 2021, Wildlife World, based in Chavenage, Nr Tetbury, Gloucestershire, once again leads the way in wildlife product design with the stunning wreath Nester made in partnership with TV naturalist and wildlife cameraman, Simon King. The Wreath Nester is the latest Wildlife World design collaboration with Simon, a working relationship in its 4th year!
The design principle is that many small wild bird species prefer an open style nesting environment with easy access. However, this can cause an issue as little birds need protection from predators prying eyes. As a result, the open entrance with a nesting space tucked behind the sidewall and covered by the roof makes an ideal nest.
Mark Pitman, General Manager at Wildlife World remarks; "By working with Simon King, we've gained his many years of knowledge researching, observing and photographing wildlife. The Wreath Nester had fast become a staff favourite. The satisfaction of finding the most beautiful, colourful and seasonal decorations during testing was a hot topic around the (now digital) office! It is a much-needed happy activity for all to enjoy through this very odd time we find ourselves in."
To make the perfect wreath, you've usually needed to stock up on wreath making supplies. Firstly, you'd need to fashion a wireframe or twigs, vines or pliable sticks to create the structure. Secondly, you'd need wire in various thickness, tape, pins, and twine to attach the decorative materials. On top of all the materials you need to fashion a beautiful and functional wreath, you will also require tools.
Here at Wildlife World, we've taken the tedious and usually quite frustrating part of building the base structure out of the equation. The Simon King Wreath Nester has a natural brushwood form, attached to a reinforced steel frame with wire. In other words, the structure is sturdy, has plenty of gaps in the brushwood and wire to fix all the foliage through and to. All you'll need to make your wreath nester a seasonal stunner is the decorating materials….and a pair of garden secateurs.
"The Simon King Wreath Nester offers the perfect opportunity for some outdoor crafting this lockdown." Mark continues; "First and foremost, it's a safe and comfortable nesting and roosting space specifically designed for robins, wrens and other small garden birds. But secondly, it's a chance to decorate and produce a truly unique wreath for your garden."
