Green Feathers Deluxe Alpine 300 Chalet Style Birdbox
Green Feathers Deluxe Alpine 300 Chalet Style Birdbox
This handmade bird box is incredibly solid, built from 21mm thick wood, unlike most of the thinner, less durable boxes on the market. Importantly, it also carries the FSC label, ensuring the timber only comes from responsible sources. Not only that, but all of the boxes are handmade in the UK.
The interior of the box has been designed to be as spacious as possible, leaving room for the installation of a camera. There is a small mounting hole in the back of the box, perfectly sized to fit the camera's bracket. Slots run underneath either side of the roof to add ventilation for the birds, and also providing a neat way to route power and video cables out of the box. The kit includes a set of mounting plates and screws for mounting the box to a tree, fence or wall.
The size of the entrance size hole is 32mm, which is perfect for small garden birds such as Great Tits, Coal Tits, Blue Tits and Wood Sparrows. You can also use Green Feathers' metal plates (sold separately) to make the hole smaller (to 25mm or 28mm) to restrict the type of bird using the box. You can also remove the panel on the front to transform it into an open-fronted box suitable for birds such as robins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I put a bird box?
Place it outside in a quiet, sheltered spot 2–4 metres up, with a clear flight path and some nearby cover (like hedges or shrubs). For best results in the UK, face it north or east to reduce wind and overheating.
When do birds use bird boxes in the UK?
Most nesting activity happens during the breeding season from March to August, with a busy peak in spring. If you can, install your box in autumn or winter so birds can scout it out early.
When and how should I clean a bird box?
Clean boxes between September and February, once nesting has finished, to support hygiene and conservation. Remove old material, then rinse with boiling water (no chemicals) and let it dry fully before putting it back up.
Can I put bird boxes near each other?
Sometimes, but some birds prefer space, while others tolerate neighbours, so choosing the right nest box (and spacing) makes a real difference. As a simple rule, give boxes room apart unless you’re targeting social species, and avoid clustering them right by a busy window or doorway.
