the bird feeder “VUGLHUS”
€ 150,00 – € 165,00
Our bird feeder is a real eye-catcher and can be used for all common seeds.
At a glance
Besides creating nesting opportunities, there are many other ways you can make your garden, balcony or terrace a bird-friendly environment. One of the most effective ways is to feed the birds all year round. With the Vuglhus, a high-quality birdfeeder, the birds in your neighbourhood are sure to feel very much at home.
Doing good: Feeding birds all year round in private gardens, balconies and roof terraces has become an indispensable means of combating the dying out of birds. In order to provide your garden birds not only with food but also with a suitable nesting place, it is best to combine the feeder with a nesting box (the more the better – simply depending on the space available).
Convenient: To make cleaning easier, the Vuglhus feeder can be disassembled into its constituent parts in seconds – and like with all Hanehus products, no tools required.

Location
The Vuglhus feeder can be used in many ways: it fits in your garden, on the balcony, the roof terrace or even on the windowsill of a city flat. When choosing a location, you should consider the following points:
- Weather protection: The location should be as dry as possible, protected from the wind and ideally partially in the shade.
- Protection from natural enemies: Cats, weasels and the like should not be able to sneak up to the feeder without being noticed by the birds.
- Sufficient distance from any windows: A distance of 2 metres is sufficient so that the birds do not fly into a window pane when approaching the feeder.
- Positioning the feeder at a height of 1-2 metres also means that refilling and cleaning are easily possible without a ladder.

Mounting
You can easily mount your Vuglhus feeder without tools or extra parts. And our number one choice:
- On a tree: Hanging your Vuglhus is 100% tree-friendly. Simply wrap the natural fibre rope around the tree and tie the ends together in a knot – preferably directly above a side branch to prevent it from slipping down later. You can find instructions on how to tie two rope ends safely and neatly HERE.
- On a wall: The central opening at the back of the birdfeeder can be used for mounting with wall hooks or something similar.
Maintenance
All Hanehus products are made of wood – a wonderful, natural product. They consist of high-quality 3-ply larch wood panels.
Each piece has a unique grain pattern and its own shades of colour, thanks to the knots and annual rings of the tree. Due to variations in light conditions and humidity, the outer appearance of our products is in a constant state of flux. This is how, among other things, a natural “darkening” occurs over time.
If the wood were to be completely exposed to all weathers with no protection, damage would occur in just a few weeks. Therefore, all our products are protected by a high-quality, environmentally friendly, natural, wax-based coating (breathable, water-repellent, self-cleaning). To avoid damage later, this protection should be reapplied after one year at exposed areas, and on all other areas as required every 2-3 years.
