Social Housing Scheme is For The Birds

29 10:20:35

The snowdrops are up, Spring is just around the corner and love is in the air! Valentine's Day on 14th February traditionally marks the time when your birds start to pair up for the breeding season and begin looking for available accommodation! As we all know, the availability of 'natural nesting sites' within gardens and homes has dramatically declined and National Nest Box Week was launched way back in 1997 to encourage people to create alternative nesting sites for birds. Since then there is an estimated 5 - 6 million boxes in gardens across the UK. Whether you have a small garden in the middle of town or a large garden in the countryside, a nest box will provide a warm, safe home this spring.

We at Street End Farm would like to do our bit to help. For the month of February we will be offering our customers and their wild garden birds a simple wooden nest box worth £7.95. Of course, this great offer is subject to limited stocks so first come first served!
