Hi there, I'd like to introduce you to the Simon King Lightweight Brushwood Robin Nester and some

00:05.680 --> 00:12.160
of its features. As its name suggests it's lightweight, physically very light, but that

00:12.160 --> 00:17.120
doesn't mean to say it's not robust. It's a wire frame, it's made with this brushwood exterior but

00:17.120 --> 00:24.400
also a wicker base and up inside the roof is a weather protective layer. But what's unique about

00:24.400 --> 00:31.840
this design is that it is built with the needs of robins very much in mind based on where they like

00:31.840 --> 00:37.280
to nest. Robins don't like being exposed they like to tuck themselves away very often inside

00:37.280 --> 00:43.200
buildings or in little nooks and crannies so the nester has this landing platform but the nesting

00:43.200 --> 00:50.240
area itself is around the corner and that's ideal for robins keeps them out of sight of prying eyes

00:50.240 --> 00:55.580
predators. It couldn't be easier to put up. Robins like to nest somewhere where

00:55.580 --> 00:59.540
there's a lot of cover. Natural vegetation is ideal and if you're lucky

00:59.540 --> 01:04.100
enough to have a wall with ivy on that's the perfect spot. The nester comes with

01:04.100 --> 01:07.460
a little bit of wire that you can thread through the back and use that to attach

01:07.460 --> 01:21.780
it to the vegetation you can also position the brushwood nester in an

01:21.780 --> 01:26.640
outbuilding somewhere the robins have easy access like a log shed or even the

01:26.640 --> 01:32.840
garden shed if you leave a window ajar and up against a fence so long as

01:32.840 --> 01:35.980
there's lots of cover all around
