'Tahera' Artisan Bird Nester

The fair trade 'Tahera' Artisan Bird Nester is an elegant teardrop-shaped nester, ideal for small garden birds that prefer to roost alone, especially in winter, or as a nest in the spring.

These attractive nesters are handmade in southern Bangladesh using local, natural hogla grass which is considered a weed when it chokes up harbours, rivers and ponds. They are also made with recycled saris meaning every colourful nester is unique. By buying these nesters you’re supporting the artisan workers from poor rural communities who make them.

The nesters have a strong inner frame with an entrance shaped to make it easier for birds to perch on. A metal hook on the back and a top loop allows you to fasten the nesters securely.

Nesters are best placed amongst sheltered, natural leaf cover, preferably facing between north and south-east to protect birds from prevailing winds.
