Why Choose a Roosting Pocket?

The GPM620 provides a simple, natural shelter that small birds may use for resting, roosting or nesting.

Unlike a fully enclosed timber bird box, the woven reed construction is breathable and lightweight. It is therefore best positioned amongst established foliage or in another sheltered part of the garden where surrounding vegetation can help reduce exposure to wind and rain.

Its natural appearance also makes it an attractive addition to wildlife-friendly gardens without looking overly artificial.

Ideal For

• Small garden birds
• Roosting and resting

• Natural-style garden displays

Product Specifications

Placement

Hang the roosting pocket in a quiet, protected location amongst shrubs, trees or dense foliage.

Avoid hanging it in an exposed position where it will receive strong prevailing winds or driving rain. A sheltered position with surrounding vegetation will provide a more suitable environment for visiting birds.

Where possible, position it away from heavy foot traffic and locations that are easily accessible to cats or other predators.
