Buying a birdhouse?
If you live in New Zealand are are looking to buy a birdhouse then take a look at Kohab.nz Kohab Birdhouses have been specially designed to give safe, warm shelter to a range of regular visitors to NZ gardens. They are made of plywood and although they look great as they are they are also the perfect for painting. But before you start take a look at our blog on how to paint a birdhouse.
Kohab Birdhouses are different from other birdhouses you can buy here in NZ because:
They are made for the birds in your New Zealand garden that will use a nesting box
They are made from marine grade plywood and will last for generations of birdlife to come
Marine Plywood is safe, unlike tantalised wood that some birdhouses are made of. These are harmful to bird health and the environment
They have thick 12mm walls and roof to keep birds and their chicks warms
They are watertight to keep bird families dry
They have good floor ventilation to keep moisture levels low
The nails and mounting screws are made of stainless steel
They come flat packed to reduce packaging and shipping costs, yet only take a few minutes to put together (see the instruction sheet here)
Plus they are proudly NZ made.
