Product Information

The discovery of a cellar underneath the restaurant causes some disagreement between Nicholls and Robin. Robin wants to turn it into a wine cellar - whereas Nicholls thinks they should place more tables down there. As it is made from wood the box can be left out year-round, and it will provide excellent insulation for the nesters. The open-fronted entrance will not only attract robins but also pied wagtails and spotted flycatchers. Just ensure you place it out of the reach of cats and hidden from the view of magpies. Robin's Nest screenwriter George Layton appeared as Vernon Potter, a former student who was at college with Robin Tripp, in a few episodes.

Robins do nest in bird boxes. Robins prefer an open fronted nesting box, situated in a location with natural cover. Robins will often make use of other types of nests we make available but from what I have seen, they like a nice wooden box the most. But what about siting and positioning? If you want to know where to put a robin nest box, read on as I am about to go into more detail. Where Should I Put A Robin Nest Box? The position of any bird nesting box is quite important. It might even surprise you how low to the ground some birds like to nest. Find The Right Height You shouldn’t intervene if you see this happening. Mother nature can be very cruel. Why Are Robins Associated With Christmas? Robins will puff out their red breast as a sign of aggression and try to take a higher perch than their rivals to assert dominance. They regularly fight one another ad it is estimated that 10% of all fatalities are caused by disputes between Robins. How Big Are Robin Boundaries?Robins are one of the most well-loved birds in the British garden. But how much do you really know about our red-breasted friends? These iconic birds are not only beautiful but fascinating too. The best nesting boxes for robins differ slightly from the conventional boxes that you might be used to seeing. Robins won’t think about using a box with a small entrance hole, preferring an open-fronted box instead. It is made from sustainable, FSC certified, 100% fir, a wood known for its strength, and natural protection against rot and pests. It isn’t waterproof unless it is treated, however, it is very weather resistant. The bird table will remain durable and be a part of your garden for many years to come.

If nesting does begin early and the weather continues to be favourable, Robins can produce up to four broods in a single nesting season. How Do Robins Build Their Nest? Their decision is based on the proximity of food, water, shelter, and nesting materials. They want somewhere to invite their mating partner and safely raise their young. Away from our gardens, robins may also nest in forests with dense undergrowth and scrub, or in town parks as well as hedgerows. The increasing disappearance of spaces like these in the UK makes it more important than ever to create safe places for robins in your own garden.The collective noun for a group of Robins is a Round. This is a new term and was only coined in 2011. Robins are well known for being anti-social and territorial, which means they don’t often gather. However, as winter arrives and they look for food in gardens they become more tolerant of one another. Although we refer to Robins as having a red breast, they are technically orange. This is because there was not a word for the colour orange in the English language for a long time. Eventually, the colour was named after the orange fruit. Good job as well, Robin Orange Breast doesn’t have the same ring to it! The positioning of a robin’s nesting box is pretty much similar to any other nesting box – out of direct sunlight and facing away from driving wind and rain. This will mean facing the box between the north and the east.
