Buy your garden birds new home for Christmas

Any garden bird would be proud to set up home in one of these beautiful New England nest boxes! Newly available from Farbrook Farm, these chic boxes are made from sustainable wood in a clapboard design and have real cedar shingle roofs. They come in a choice of three pastel shades (Faded Cornflower, Soft Mallow or Sun-kissed Lemon) and will add a touch of New England style to any garden. They are an ideal gift for your feathered friends - and they also make great gifts for your human ones too! Each nest box is 25 cm (10in) high, 20 cm (8in) wide and 18 cm (71/4in) deep with a brass effect hole protector to stop woodpeckers and a hinged side door for easy cleaning after the nesting season is over. These pretty boxes should be attached to a tree, wall or fence, at least 1.5 to 2.5 metres from the ground out of reach of squirrels, cats and other predators. They should be put up between October and February to provide roosting and nesting spots for garden birds such as sparrows, tits, chaffinches and nuthatches. Each box retails for £16.99 and the set of three can be purchased for £45.99. They will be available online from www.feedyourbirds.co.uk, by post from the Farbrook Farm catalogue or by telephone on 0800 0588 355. From Source Wire
