Shesali - Artisan Bird Nester - SECONDS STOCK

THESE HAVE WATER DAMAGED BOXES AND MAY SLIGHTLY MOULDY OR FADED.  THIS DOES NOT AFFECT ITS USAGE 

Purchasing our Fair Trade product helps both wildlife and people. In addition to giving a bird a nest, you’ll be supporting the Artisan workers in Southern Bangladesh who make them. Funding the survival of many women and their families from rural communities in desperate poverty.

Handmade to the highest quality finish using natural Hogla grass and recycled saris.

(Hogla is a type of grass that abundantly grows in Bangladesh and is used as a material for baskets, cushions and placemats. Hogla grass regularly causes problems near the shores as it can overgrow whole harbors, rivers and ponds. This material is considered a weed and the local villagers remove it.)

Every nester is unique in colour! Each artisan chooses the colourful recycled sari pattern making every nester different.

The Shesali Nester is the medium-sized ‘Oval’ model of our Fairtrade Nester range. Oval in shape offers a medium-sized cavity perfect for small garden bird species which roost alone or in a pair. Offering a cosy place to roost during harsh winter months, plus in springtime, small birds may use this Fair Trade product as a nest.

The Fair Trade Bird Nester has a sturdy inner frame for support. Attached metal hooks at the rear and a long loop at the top to ensure you can fasten the nester securely. As a result, these make it easier to site the nester in the natural leaf cover and vegetation of ivy, bushes, trees or hedges. The nester has a small round entrance reinforced with steel. It is also slightly protruding to make it easy for birds to land and perch on.

Siting

Position the bird nester in a sheltered space to keep out harsh weather. Preferably face the bird nester between North and South-East. A warm, protected roosting space out of the prevailing wind can be a lifesaver for small birds during cold, harsh weather conditions.
