Stock up for National Nest Box Week!
LEADING bird care brand Peckish is reminding stock up for National Nest Box Week (Feb
14-21) to take advantage of those coming into store to find a home for feathered friends.
National Nest Box Week (Feb 14-21) is well publicised in the national press each year. Its
call to action is for households to buy and put up a nest box, ready for birds to move in
during the forthcoming nesting season. The week is run by the British Trust for Ornithology
(BTO) as a way for everyone to help address falling bird populations during recent years.
Peckish Nest Boxes are a great fit, as they are designed to BTO standards and are made
from FSC 100% certified wood. This means you can guarantee they have been made with
safety firmly in mind, such as ensuring entrance holes are the correct size and the wood is
strong enough to deter predators.
A total of 3 different styles are available, including:

Blue Tit Nest Box – This powdered blue and white design features an entrance hole small
enough to only allow access to Blue Tits. With easy to clean side openings and drainage
holes to prevent a build-up of moisture.

Robin Nest Box – A white and green design with an open fronted entrance which is
preferable to the Robin species, this nest box is made from the highest quality wood and
includes drainage holes to prevent a build-up of moisture.

Easy Change Wood Nest Box – An attractive wood design with interchangeable fronts to
attract a variety of birds. Includes drainage holes to prevent a build-up of moisture.
Peckish also produce Peckish Nesting & Young Bird Mix specifically for the nesting
season. Packed with protein and our unique Calvita mineral and vitamin supplement, this
wild bird seed mix helps adult birds reproduce and develop healthy eggs. It’s also great for
building up the strength of young chicks.
Rachael Dickinson, Senior Marketing Manager for Peckish said: “This is a well-publicised
event, which attracts a substantial amount of coverage in the national media each year.
“By creating themed displays in the front of store, link selling Peckish nest boxes together
with Peckish Nesting & Young Bird Mix and feeders, retailers can create attractive displays
that meet consumer needs and provide encouragement to increase till spend.”
