Some will choose to roost alone, whereas others will favour sharing body heat and roost in groups.

["Bird Box","Bird Nest Pocket","Birds Nest","Birds Next Box","Roosting Pocket"]
Perfect for roosting or nesting for small garden birds who prefer an open-fronted nest site – such as robins or wagtails.
Out of the prevailing wind, cosmetic roosting spaces can be a lifesaver for small birds during harsh weather conditions. Without somewhere to shelter they use up vital energy reserves just trying to keep warm. And if food is also scarce, this can become critical for the bird’s survival.
Like our original small roost pocket, the Giant Nest Pocket has a sturdy inner frame to support the brushwood covering. We have designed integral fixing loops so that the nester can be easily tied into suitable foliage or vegetation.
Nesting birds may also use this giant roost nest pocket in the springtime. The larger entrance hole is more suited to species such as robins, pied flycatchers or wagtails. The entrance has a little rattan doorstep that serves as a landing platform and a cute little porch designed to cast rain away from the nester entrance hole.
