Stylish TARDIS Bird Nest Box – Doctor Who Inspired Birdhouse

TARDIS Bird Nest Box

The TARDIS Bird Nest Box brings the magic of the iconic blue police box from Doctor Who into your garden, reimagined as a charming, handmade nesting home for garden birds. Proudly crafted in the UK from premium planed redwood, this bird box combines the beloved sci-fi nostalgia of the TARDIS with practical design, making it a standout addition to any outdoor space.

Essential dimensions ensure bird comfort: a 120 x 120 mm internal floor provides ample nesting area, a 279.4 mm (11-inch) height (excluding lid and base) offers a safe cavity depth, and an external base of 162 x 162 mm ensures stability. The roof measures 172 x 182 mm, with a 10 mm overhang on the front, left, and right sides for excellent weather shielding, while the rear is flush for easy mounting against a tree or fence. The 32 mm entrance hole, placed 180–200 mm above the internal floor, welcomes blue tits, coal tits, great tits, and house sparrows, encouraging a diverse bird population.

What makes this box special includes a range of delightful features: an internal coating with water-based wood preserver for safety and longevity, hand-stained externally in classic TARDIS blue with two coats for vibrant durability. The hinged lid is locked with a hasp, staple, and carabiner clip, allowing secure access for top-down cleaning, complemented by an unscrewable base for thorough maintenance. Ventilation is handled by two 7 mm holes per side near the top, and drainage by four 7 mm holes on the base to keep the interior dry and fresh. A perch (20–30 mm external, 5–10 mm internal) doubles as a convenient feeding area.

Why choose the TARDIS Bird Nest Box? It’s the perfect choice for Doctor Who fans, sci-fi enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a quirky garden feature that also supports wildlife. Unlike standard bird houses, this design captures the endless adventure of the TARDIS, adding a playful yet practical element to patios, gardens, or balconies. Its robust redwood construction and easy-clean features make it a low-maintenance option, while the bird-friendly design encourages nesting and observation. Bring a piece of the Whoniverse to your outdoor space with this handcrafted treasure—ideal for eco-conscious homeowners who love a bit of fun!
