Bait Advertising rules

New consumer protection rules came into force recently, which we welcome. However, one of these rules makes it an offence to offer goods for sale which you don't have. As a very small family firm , we update our website by hand and while we try, we cannot possibly keep our stock levels up to date. So if it is important that you get your product by a certain date or that having it in stock when you order is important, please email us beforehand to check stock availability.

Please note that we are a very small company, and we build by hand - so we tend to build in small batches. It's always worth emailing us to find out if a particular product is being built.

Have you ever wanted to see what goes on inside a nest box when the chicks hatch? Or who is visiting your bird table? Want to watch your hedgehog building a nest or help endangered species? Or maybe you just want to check that your rabbit is safe or your hens laying? bird table video captureWell now you can! Garden Safari specialise in allowing you glimpses into the secret lives of the creatures who share our world. We are the UK's leading provider of bird boxes, bird tables, bat boxes and similar products equipped with miniature video cameras that link to your TV or PC.

Your choice of camera

At Garden Safari we've scoured the world for the very latest technology to make watching wildlife even easier than before. Why not take a look at our range of affordable USB camera boxes that plug straight into your PC - we are the UK's ONLY supplier. You can record record video from the camera to your hard drive - no expensive video capture cards or software needed, just a PC with a USB port* . Or look at our growing range of wired and wireless TV camera products that plug into your TV or video. we offer three basic choices of camera for most of our products:

  • USB cameras - These plug into the USB port of any PC. The camera comes with a 30 foot (10 metre) cable as standard and we can extend this up to 75 feet if you choose our extended cable option at the time you place order. (Please note: we cannot add cable afterwards because we seal all the joints to keep them weatherproof.)
  • Wireless Cameras that plug into your TV/ Video - These use wireless technology to beam the video picture back to your TV or DVR/VCR, so you can watch and/or record the action in the box from your living room. Note, however, that the wireless cameras do eat batteries, so we have supplied a mains adaptor to provide power to the camera.
  • Wired Cameras that plug into your TV/ Video - These bring the video signal along cables to your TV or VCR/DVR. The same cables power the camera.

You don't even need to have a garden!

You can relax in the comfort of your home and watch your visitors from your PC or TV. Garden Safari nest boxes use miniature colour video cameras* with inbuilt infrared lights that they can even see in complete darkness. Infrared cannot be seen by birds, bats or bees and is widely used by wildlife film-makers like the BBC. You can watch birds, bats or other creatures day or night and never miss a thing. You can even record live video of their antics to your computer's hard drive or burn to a DVD or video.

Why choose us?

  • All of our products are handmade and conform to RSPB and BTO guidelines
  • We don't use cheap, thin plywood for our nest boxes or tables - we use only solid wood which insulates our nest boxes and keeps them naturally snug and warm. It's more expensive, but it is much better for the birds. All of our wood is sourced from forests that are certified by the Forestry commission as sustainably managed. Made with thick wood
  • We don't stain or paint our boxes - because birds, bats and squirrels can all use them, and paint that is safe for one can be toxic to the other. All our screws and nails are galvanised to protect against rust.
  • We leave our wood roughened inside and out so birds and fledlings can climb out - another good reason for not using plywood or chipboard. The deep entrance hole gives fledglings somewhere to rest before taking that all-important first flight.
  • Our products are fully assembled, not kits. We even supply the rawplugs and screws to fix our boxes to the wall.
  • Our bat boxes are specially designed to prevent young birds getting trapped inside and our hedgehog homes are carefully design to keep cats out. All of our products are designed to put animals first.
  • Wherever possible we use recycled materials for our packaging and you can re-use or recycle them again when you've finished with them.
  • Garden Safari are SeGfl listed and offer a discount for bona-fide educational users.
  • We guarantee all our products. Follow the Our Guarantee link for details.
  • Our USB camera products plug straight into your PC's USB port. You don't need to spend even more money on expensive video converters.
Spring Watch fans! Remember - the BBC uses equipment costing many tens of thousands of pounds. We can't match the quality of their pictures at these prices, but we do offer you a good quality, value for money product

Now here's the best bit. Our Bird box cameras start from just £69, plus P&P.
