Starlings have declined as a breeding bird in the UK by as much as 50% in the last 25 years, leading to their inclusion on the Birds of Conservation Concern Red List. This Starling Nest Box provides a comfortable, safe, and dry nesting site for starlings, especially when natural sites are scarce. It is designed to be placed 2.5m or higher above the ground, and multiple boxes can be installed in a group to encourage a loose colony of starlings.
