Available to purchase individually or each size with a blank plate or as a set of four (one of each size and a blank) - please select (PLEASE NOTE: THE BIRD BOX IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING, THIS IS FOR VISUAL REPRESENTATION PURPOSES ONLY).
Bird box hole protection plates (available in brown or black).
These hole protection plates deter larger predators like squirrels from entering the bird nesting box by reducing the hole size to suit only the size of the bird.
They also protect the area around the hole on the bird box from damage and water penetration which could lead to the wood rotting.
Overall size of each plate 70mm x 50mm
Different sized openings to suit different sized birds: hole diameters of 32mm, 28mm, 25mm available. The entrance hole size depends on the species of bird you hope to attract. Examples of the types of birds suited to each size:
25 mm for blue, coal and marsh tits
28 mm for great tits, tree sparrows and pied flycatchers
32 mm for house sparrows and nuthatches
You can also purchase a blank plate which can be used to seal off the hole when the bird box is not being used by a nesting bird.
Screw directly over the hole in the bird box. Each plate has two screw holes to make it easy to attach (please note, screws are not included).
