Nest Box 2GR
Nest Remover 2GR
Developed in collaboration with Senior Forest Ranger Dr. Otto Henze †. The design
of this nest box and its front panel provides effective protection against Cats and
Martens. With its choice of oval or three-hole entrance, the nesting chamber is
well lit despite its size. Because of the entering light, the nest is built very low
down at the rear of the box, away from the reach of predators. The front panel,
with its integrated protection against Cats and Martens, can be easily removed
for inspection and monitoring, providing an unobstructed view of the nest. With its
enlarged brood chamber and predator protection, the 2GR is widely used in parks
and woodlands. A common feature of monocultures is the prevalence of attack by
insects and other pests; the 2GR helps by encouraging a higher breeding success
by Birds that eat pests. The box is supplied with a hanger and an Aluminium Nail.
An additional recess suitable for Bats has been created inside the roof space. See
illustration below.

» Nest Remover
This is used in the 2GR Nest Box for inspection and cleaning purposes.
The aluminium plate is carefully slid between the nest and the floor of the
nest box. This enables the entire nest to be removed from the 2GR Nest Box
without the need to touch it. This is also a wonderful way of acquainting
children and young people with nature. The nest can be easily replaced
after inspection.
