Woodpecker Nest Box

£29.95
£29.95

This nesting box is specifically designed for woodpeckers. Our nesting box has proven successful at attracting woodpeckers due to an extra thick bowl shaped bottom in which the eggs can be laid. It also features a closed entrance the birds need to peck at and open themselves, just as they would in a natural cavity.

To attract woodpeckers, it’s recommended to mount a nest box high up on a mature tree trunk, ideally between 3-5 metres off the ground. Find a shaded woodland area facing away from direct sunlight and prevailing winds. It should also offer a clear line of flight for the birds to access the nest box entrance. Because woodpeckers are early nesters, the best time to put it up is in late autumn or early winter to allow the birds time to find it before nesting season arrives.

This woodpecker nest box includes a side opening door for easy maintenance and inspection.

During winter the nesting box may also be used for protection and makes an ideal shelter for birds during bad weather.

  • closed entrance hole
  • thick bowl-shaped bottom
  • door on the side

Helpful – Caring – Responsible

When Sean McMenemy started Noah’s Ark Wildlife Gardens as a landscaping business back in 1991, little did he know what a huge impact he was to make on the bird feeding and garden wildlife industries over the following decades.

Over 30-years later he still brings the same passion for garden wildlife to work every day, so it’s no wonder we’re so highly respected. Our expertise lies in providing carefully selected natural food and products that offer significant benefits to wildlife – with the type of customer service only true enthusiasm for our subject can bring.

Meeting a demand for natural, nutritious wildlife food

In those early days, Sean constantly received requests for help in making his clients’ natural gardens more wildlife friendly. Requests for bird food encouraged Sean to research bird feeding, and at that time he found problems in the market with quality and service. He knew then the only way forward was to create his own natural, nutritious range of wildlife food and present it in a way which benefited both the wildlife and the customer. Ark Wildlife was born.

The company has steadily grown since those early days, now standing as one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of bird food and garden wildlife products, despatching over 500 parcels per day across the United Kingdom.

Exceptional service, because we care more than we can put into words

No matter how large our business is now, Ark Wildlife aims to combine the convenience of an online mail order outlet with the caring, helpful touch of a specialist shop. Our people make the difference. We take great pride in the energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our ever-growing workforce, still led by our inspirational driving force, Sean. If you read through some of Sean’s blog posts you will see how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares for the welfare of our wildlife.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is drumming regarding woodpeckers?

"Drumming" is the official term for pecking for woodpeckers - whether it be pecking for insects in crevices on trees, creating their nests and communicating with other woodpeckers.

What foods attract woodpeckers?

The great and lesser spotted woodpeckers are natural insectivores but they also love peanuts and suet products like suet cakes and fatballs. Green woodpeckers are predominately insect eaters, sometimes berries and other plants and are unlikely to be attracted by the bird foods we put out.

What is the diameter of the entrance hole?

The diameter is 50mm.
