Birds are magnificent creatures that bring life and beauty to our surroundings. Many bird enthusiasts and nature lovers have taken the initiative to install bird boxes in their gardens or yards, providing a safe and cosy haven for our feathered friends to nest and raise their young. However, one challenge that often arises is the lack of natural light inside these bird boxes. Fortunately, Green Feathers, a pioneering company in the field of bird box accessories, has come up with some innovative solutions to address this issue. In this blog post, we will delve into our LED Daytime Lamp, translucent windows, and their DIY drill pack, all of which contribute to enhancing the lighting conditions inside bird boxes.
The Daytime LED Lamp
Our LED Daytime Lamp is a breakthrough device designed to simulate natural daylight within bird boxes. This ingenious innovation ensures that birds have ample light to navigate and interact within the confined space of their nesting area. The LED lamp emits a gentle and warm light, closely resembling natural sunlight, thus creating a comfortable environment for the avian inhabitants. Not only does this light aid in regulating their circadian rhythms, but it also improves visibility for fledglings, enabling them to learn and explore their surroundings more effectively.
Circular Translucent Windows & DIY Drill Pack
Another innovative feature provided by Green Feathers is the option of translucent windows for bird boxes. These windows are specially designed to let in light while maintaining the privacy and security of the nesting birds. Circular Translucent windows allow diffuse light to enter the bird box, preventing direct exposure to harsh sunlight that could potentially harm the delicate hatchlings. By utilizing these windows, bird box owners can strike a perfect balance between light and protection, ensuring the well-being of the birds.
To facilitate this, they offer a DIY drill pack, which includes all the necessary tools and accessories for installing the circular translucent windows. This user-friendly pack allows bird box owners to make modifications easily and safely, without the need for professional assistance.
At Green Feathers we're always looking at ways to revolutionise the way we approach bird box design and maintenance with innovative solutions. By introducing the LED Daytime Lamp, translucent windows, and the DIY drill pack, we've hopefully made it easier than ever for bird enthusiasts to create a welcoming and well-lit environment for nesting birds. These advancements not only benefit the birds themselves but also provide a unique opportunity for observation and enjoyment for people like ourselves and you. So, if you are looking to brighten up your bird box and enhance the nesting experience for our feathered friends, Green Feathers' range of accessories is certainly worth exploring.
For the second season running, birds fail to enter the box. On a number of occasions they simply pop their heads in – very warily – and look around (especially up) to the camera and light source. I feel that this light may be deterring them from nesting. It does feel as if the box may be too bright with this light. I have had birds nesting before in a basic box in exactly the same box position but without a camera and lighting in past years. I too would ask if there is a way of deactivating the light to experiment and see if the light is the problem?
Hi,I’ve got a 3rd generation camera in the box and I’m wondering if the daytime light would annoy a bird as a few have landed at the entrance hole but don’t come in ,is there anyway I could deactivate the light to see if it helps .
