WoodStone Starling Nest Box

Give starlings a safe, long-lasting place to raise their young with this professional-grade WoodStone Starling Nest Box. Designed in partnership with wildlife experts, it combines the natural appearance of wood with the durability and insulation of concrete. The result is a nest box that offers outstanding protection from both the weather and predators, and one that will last for many years to come.

Starlings prefer enclosed cavities for nesting, and the 45mm entrance hole is ideal for their size and behaviour. Inside, the WoodStone material helps regulate temperature, keeping chicks warm on cold spring mornings and cool during sudden heatwaves. Unlike traditional wooden boxes, it won’t rot, crack, or deteriorate, giving these charismatic birds a dependable site to return to year after year.

Part of our professional Vivara Pro range, this starling box is built to conservation standards and comes with a 10-year guarantee. For the best results, mount it at least 2–3 metres high in an open space with a clear flight path. Use aluminium nails or suitable fixings to minimise any damage to trees.

All our nest boxes are designed and tested with leading ornithologists to ensure they deliver genuine conservation value. When you buy from us, you’re directly supporting research and habitat work across the UK and Europe, helping to protect species like the starling, whose numbers have declined in recent decades.

Expert tip: Once installed, attract starlings to your garden by offering their favourite foods such as mealworms, suet pellets, fat balls, and our Starling Peanut Cake which is specially formulated for starlings. These high-protein, high-energy foods are ideal for parents feeding growing chicks in spring and early summer.
