Attractive British Red Telephone Box Bird Box – Vintage Phone Booth Nesting Box

The British Red Telephone Box Bird Box is a delightful fusion of nostalgia and functionality, handmade in the UK to celebrate one of Britain’s most beloved icons—the classic red telephone box.

This premium bird box is designed to attract a variety of small garden birds while adding a touch of whimsy to your outdoor space. Crafted from high-quality planed redwood, it offers exceptional durability against the elements, ensuring years of reliable use.

Key dimensions include a spacious 120 x 120 mm internal floor for nesting comfort, a 279.4 mm (11-inch) height (excluding lid and base) to provide ample cavity depth, and an external base of 162 x 162 mm. The roof measures 172 x 182 mm, with a 10 mm overhang on the front, left, and right sides for superior weather protection, while the rear is flush (0 mm overhang) for flat mounting against a tree or fence.

The 32 mm entrance hole, positioned 180–200 mm above the internal floor, accommodates blue tits, coal tits, great tits, and house sparrows, promoting biodiversity in your garden.

Features that set this bird box apart: it’s coated internally with a safe, water-based wood preserver and externally with two coats of vibrant paint for a authentic telephone box look. The hinged lid is secured with a hasp, staple, and carabiner clip for security, allowing top-down cleaning, while the unscrewable base enables thorough maintenance—ideal for annual cleanouts. Ventilation is provided by two 7 mm holes per side near the top, and drainage by four 7 mm holes on the base to prevent moisture buildup. A perch (20–30 mm external protrusion, 5–10 mm internal) serves as a feeding area, making entry and exit easy for birds.
