Teak Root Bird Tables, Baths and Houses
Few things bring a garden to life like birdsong. Bird tables, baths and houses invite wildlife in. Teak root versions look like natural parts of the garden.
Bird Tables
A bird table gives birds a safe place to feed. Place it in an open spot, about two metres from shrubs. This gives birds cover nearby while keeping cats at bay. Clean the table weekly to prevent disease.
Bird Baths
Birds need water for drinking and bathing, especially in summer and freezing winters. Keep the water shallow and fresh. Change it every couple of days. In frost, float a small ball to stop the surface freezing.
Bird Houses
Nest boxes give birds shelter and a place to raise young. Fix them two to four metres high, facing north to east. This avoids strong sun and prevailing wet winds. Put them up in autumn so birds find them before spring.
Why Teak Root?
- Teak's natural oils help it resist rain and rot.
- Organic shapes blend into borders and lawns.
- Each piece is unique.
- It weathers to an attractive silver-grey over time.
