Enclosures for starlings

Vivara Pro’s starlings range provides practical, easy to use, and durable nesting and shelter solutions designed to support starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) in both urban and rural environments. Once common across the UK, starling populations have declined significantly due to the loss of traditional nesting sites and changes in land use. Vivara Pro’s starlings range helps to reverse this trend by offering safe, long-lasting nesting and roosting opportunities that encourage colony breeding. Designed and produced in-house, and made in Europe, these products combine ecological expertise, sustainable materials such as woodstone (also known as woodcrete or wood concrete), and professional craftsmanship to deliver reliable, long-term results for biodiversity enhancement.

Practical, durable nesting solutions for starlings

Developed in collaboration with ecologists and ornithologists, Vivara Pro’s starlings range includes purpose-built nest boxes and tower systems that replicate the sheltered cavities starlings naturally use. Each product is designed to meet the species’ social nesting habits and withstand long-term exposure to the UK’s variable climate.

• Practical and robust designs that support multiple breeding pairs where colony nesting occurs.
• Easy to use and install on buildings, poles, or within green infrastructure projects.
• Constructed from sustainable, weather-resistant materials for long-term outdoor performance.
• Provides safe, predator-resistant nesting and roosting spaces for starlings and related species.

Each product in the range is field-tested for ecological effectiveness, ensuring it provides optimal conditions for successful breeding and species stability.

Why support starlings?

Starlings are ecologically important birds that contribute to natural pest control and seed dispersal while enriching biodiversity in urban and rural landscapes. However, modern construction and land management practices have reduced the number of safe nesting sites available. Installing Vivara Pro’s starlings products helps to:

• Provide secure and durable nesting opportunities for breeding colonies.
• Support biodiversity net gain (BNG) and local nature recovery initiatives.
• Encourage the presence of starlings as part of wider ecological networks and restoration schemes.

For urban planners, ecologists, and local authorities, these solutions offer a low-maintenance, evidence-based approach to integrating starling conservation into sustainable development and habitat restoration projects.

In-house design – made in Europe for quality and sustainability

All Vivara Pro starlings products are designed and produced in-house and made in Europe, ensuring precision, sustainability, and consistent quality. Each unit is crafted from environmentally responsible, durable materials built to perform in the UK’s challenging weather conditions. Local European production reduces transport emissions and ensures reliable availability for professional biodiversity and conservation projects.
