Nest box for kestrel. Apart from the common kestrel, lesser kestrel and peregrine, diurnal raptors are not cave dwellers and do not occupy nest boxes. However, we can encourage their nesting by offering them an open type nest box.

Description

Nest box for Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)

To be placed in fairly open areas, at the edge of the forest or at the edge of a hedge. The higher the better.

Before placement, fill the nest box to the edge of the front wall with densely packed dry grass – it will be more attractive to the kestrel! Over time, the grass will turn into litter, but in no case should it rot (wet or has absorbed too much water – throw away the material and replace it with a new one). In our experience it is not necessary to replace this material with a new one at the end of each season, but it is advisable to check and supplement it every year if its thickness decreases the edge (can also be checked with binoculars).

Modern times are increasingly pushing our little friends out of their natural environment and leading to their death.

We believe it is our duty to help them. That’s why you will find a number of nest boxes and feeders in our online store. We will at least help them create an environment that can protect them, help them nest and create more bird populations, which are extremely important to our ecosystem.

About Common Kestrel

Courtship displays begin from the end of February until March. During courtship, Kestrels engage in aerial chases which can be very noisy.

Kestrels do not build their own nests. They nest in old magpie or crow nests, in the crevices of walls, trees or rocks. Sometimes they nest in towers, old attics or bell towers.
