Our expertise
Knowing birds,
understanding birdhouses.
A good birdhouse is not improvised. It comes from a detailed understanding of species, materials, installation constraints and the rhythm of the seasons. This knowledge guides our selection every day.
Why expertise matters
A useful refuge relies on four areas of knowledge.
Every species has different requirements: entrance size, internal space, mounting height and orientation. A birdhouse suitable for a tit will not suit a little owl, and vice versa.
Our work combines bird biology, product design, real installation conditions and value for money so that we offer only coherent shelters that remain useful over time.
Our four areas of expertise
What we assess, step by step.
Species
We study the nesting habits of each species: entrance, internal space, mounting height and a favourable environment so that a bird can genuinely settle in.
Design
Materials, joints, ventilation, drainage and access for maintenance: every technical detail is assessed to ensure durability and safety.
Installation
Orientation, height, fixing and time of installation all matter: an excellent birdhouse that is badly installed may remain empty. We explain the right steps for every model and environment.
A fair price
We compare the available solutions and select only those whose quality, usefulness and durability are consistent with the price asked.
Knowing birds
Every species needs a different refuge.
Tits seek a small cavity with a narrow entrance of 26 to 32 mm that protects them from predators. Robins prefer a semi-open birdhouse, closer to a sheltered platform. Swallows nest beneath eaves or on façades in a specific type of nest. Little owls and owls require generous space and a quiet installation high above the ground.
Understanding these differences is the starting point for every selection. It lets us organise our catalogue by species and guide you towards a model that genuinely suits the birds sharing your surroundings.
Read our guide to choosing a birdhouseOur selection method
Four questions before we select a model.
Who is it for? The birdhouse must suit the habits of a specific species; entrance, space and shape are assessed first.
Does it really protect? Stability, depth, ventilation, drainage and protection from the weather determine the true quality of the refuge.
Will it last? Materials, joints, fixings and ease of maintenance matter as much as appearance. Is its price fair? Every model must offer a clear benefit and quality consistent with its price.
