Compared to wheat, millet contains less gluten, is easily digestible and provides a steady supply of energy without placing an unnecessary strain on the body.

This vertically designed sparrow villa offers three separate nesting compartments, creating multiple breeding opportunities in one place. This is ideal for sparrows, as they are sociable birds and like to sit – and nest – close to one another.At the same time, other cavity nesters will also benefit: the 32 mm diameter entrance hole is suitable, among other species, for house sparrows and tree sparrows as well as great tits and blue tits. The nesting box is made of pine wood and features a zinc roof. The roof provides additional protection against the elements, making the box a durable addition to your outdoor space.Thanks to its slim, vertical shape, the Sparrow Villa can also be placed where space is limited – for example, on a house wall, a shed or a quiet side area of the garden.Practical for everyday use: The Sparrow Villa can be opened via side doors. This makes it easier for you to check on it and, in particular, to clean it. Regular cleaning is important to keep the nesting box hygienic and make it attractive for the next breeding season. Many birds also use nesting boxes outside the breeding season as a sheltered place to sleep and retreat – this can be a valuable advantage, especially in winter.The location is crucial for successful adoption: hang the nesting box in a quiet, sheltered spot, not in direct sunlight and not on the side exposed to heavy rain. Ensure there is a clear approach so that the birds can reach the entrance easily. This will create the best conditions for the Sparrow Villa to quickly come to life and make your garden even more vibrant. Zoo Roco tip: It is best to clean the nesting box in autumn: remove old nesting material and brush the inside dry (without using harsh cleaning agents). Hang the Sparrow Villa so that the entrance does not face directly towards the weather – this increases the chance that it will be permanently adopted.
