Nest Box 1B
» NEST BOX 1B Material: SCHWEGLER wood-concrete
The internal diameter of this nest box is 12 cm. It is usually attached to
a tree using the Aluminium Nail (see Fig. 1). It can also be hung from a
branch (see Fig. 2). See also installation examples, Catalogue page 64.
The front panels, which can be bought separately, are interchangeable between model 1B, 2M and 2F,
and can easily be removed from the nest box.
Different size entrance hole widths have been created to avoid competition
between the birds.
The Nest Boxes are always delivered complete with Hanger and special
Aluminium Nail.
