Robin Ceramic Teapot Nest box

The friendly robin is the gardener's companion. They will flit around the garden collecting insects, seeds and worms and can often become so tame they will feed from your hand. They prefer open nesting sites and often utilise man made objects like open boxes, kettles and traditional teapots.

Robins will sing almost all year round and will often defend their territory. Young robins will only accquire their bright red breast feathers after 2-3 months.

Siting and Fixing

Site the Teapot Nester within some greenery or vegetation cover facing the teapot between north and southeast and between 1-2 metres high.

Fix the teapot using either malleable garden wire, passing it through the specially designed fixing holes and around the base of the handle, then twisting around a convienient branch/support, or alternatively screw to a support through the hole in the base , taking care to only gently tighten against the included rubber washer. In use the nester will be lined with grass, moss and leaves. Clean annually in late summer
