Haith’s “Help to Fly” National Nest Box Scheme 2016: You pay half, we pay half!

Tuesday, 2nd February 2016

Let's work together this BTO National Nest Box Week (14 - 21 February) to get more wild birds on the property ladder this year.

Only a very tiny proportion of the population take the initiative to put up a nest box and we plan to change that by encouraging more people to put one up. How? Simple. By making new bird homes more affordable for first-time flyers... The government has help to buy, Haith's has "Help to Fly!" Find out how it works...

Usual price: £7.50

Each year, surprisingly, only a tiny percentage of the population take the initiative to put up a nest box and - as previously mentioned above - we wanted to do something to change that by making our nest box range more affordable. However, we didn’t just want to take a few pennies off a nest box – we wanted to pay something towards the cost, to show that we’re all in this together.

Why put up a nest box? The British Trust for Ornithology says: "Natural nest sites for birds such as holes in trees or old buildings are disappearing fast as gardens are 'tidied' and old houses are repaired. Taking part in National Nest Box Week gives you the chance to contribute to bird conservation whilst giving you the pleasure of observing any breeding birds that you attract to your nest box."

And that’s why (on our “Help to Fly” range) we’ll pay half the normal retail price to help more birds fly for less this year. (We'll also be discounting a number of premium quality nest boxes so please click here to see the full range).

How to claim your help to buy discount: We’ve selected two “Help to Fly” properties and our product advisors are briefed and ready to help you choose the best nest boxes for your birds. See the diagram below for more information… Simply select one (or both) of the nest boxes and you'll see that the price has already been discounted to £3.75. In other words, we've already paid our half the £3.75.
