Wild Bird Roost Box for Year-Round Shelter - Original Design by Joel Ashton
Designed by Joel to protect small birds all year round - with five internal perches and a heat-saving bottom entry
Help protect Wrens, Tits, and other small garden birds from cold and stormy UK weather with this original wild bird roost box. Designed in October 2023 by Joel Ashton, this winter-ready bird shelter features five internal perches and a bottom entry hole to keep warmth in and provide safe, dry refuge year-round. Cold snaps can be fatal for our garden birds. Species like Wrens, Long-tailed Tits, and Blue Tits will often roost together at night for warmth - but traditional bird boxes just don’t meet their needs. That’s why Joel worked closely with our specialist box builder to develop this Wild Your Garden Roost Box, thoughtfully designed with:- A bottom-entry hole to retain heat
- Internal dowel perches for huddling birds
- A draught-proof, rain-resistant build to survive the worst winter weather and provide refuge throughout the year
£45.00
🐤 Wildlife Benefits:
- Supports Wrens, Tits, Sparrows, and other small birds
- Bottom entry reduces heat loss vs traditional top-entry boxes
- Multiple internal perches let birds roost together, not pile on top of one another
- Offers year-round protection from weather and predators
Joel says:
“We know from research - and from our own wildlife cameras - that birds need a proper place to roost. These boxes were built with real behaviour in mind, not just looks. And now that others are copying the design, it’s important to remember: this was created with care, for the birds - not just the trend.”
