Shesali – Artisan Bird Nester

Handmade to the highest quality finish using natural hogla grass and recycled saris.

(Hogla is a type of grass that abundantly grows in Bangladesh and is used as a material for baskets, cushions and placemats. Hogla grass regularly causes problems near the shores as it can overgrow whole harbours, rivers and ponds. This material is considered a weed and the local villagers remove it.) 

Every nester is unique in colour! Each artisan chooses a colourful recycled sari pattern making every nester different.

The Shesali is the medium-sized ‘Oval’ model of our Artisan Wild Bird Nester range. Oval in shape offers a medium-sized cavity perfect for species of small garden birds who roost alone or in a pair. Offering a cosy place to roost during harsh winter months, plus in springtime, small birds may use this Fair Trade product as a nest.

The Fair Trade Bird Nester has a sturdy inner frame for support. Attached are metal hooks at the rear and a long loop at the top to ensure you can fasten the nester securely. As a result, these make it easier to site the nester in the natural leaf cover and vegetation of ivy, bushes, trees or hedges. The nester has a small round entrance reinforced with steel. It is also slightly protruding to make it easy for birds to land and perch on.

Position the bird nester in a sheltered space to keep out harsh weather. Preferably face the bird nester between North and South-East. A warm, protected roosting space out of the prevailing wind can be a lifesaver for small birds during cold, harsh weather conditions.
