Schwegler

Schwegler is a German company primarily known for its birdhouses and other wildlife habitats. Founded in 1957 by the ornithologist and inventor Erwin Schwegler, the company has established a reputation for producing durable and effective nesting boxes and shelters designed to mimic natural cavities found in trees and rocks. Their products are widely used in conservation efforts and by amateur birdwatchers and gardeners seeking to support local wildlife populations.

The design philosophy behind Schwegler birdhouses emphasizes functionality and longevity. They often utilize specific materials, such as wood concrete or untreated solid wood, chosen for their insulation properties, resistance to weathering, and breathability, which are crucial for the health of nesting birds and their young. Schwegler also focuses on creating designs that are easy to clean and maintain, and that offer protection against predators.

Beyond birdhouses, Schwegler's product range has expanded to include habitats for other species, such as bats, dormice, and hedgehogs. They also offer a variety of accessories for wildlife observation and care. The company's commitment to ecological principles and the well-being of animals has made "Schwegler" a recognized name in the field of nature conservation and habitat creation.
