Why are nest boxes important?
Natural nest sites are being lost having devastating consequences for bird species. Birds are an essential component of functioning ecosystems and have a direct impact on human populations and millions of other species. It is therefore important to provide our feathered friends with a home.

SITING:
The best height for your nest box is between 1.5m and 3m high, and open nest boxes should be sited in undergrowth such as ivy to provide cover for the nest.
Hang the nest box with the supplied screw or nail. Face the box somewhere between northeast to southeast, ensuring it is not in the sun all day. No nesting material needs to be added.
If it is likely the box will be used by a Robin or Wren, place the nest box at a height of one meter in dense bush or ivy hang somewhat concealed. If placing in a forest area, hang the nest box at a minimum height of two meters, and if in an urban or industrial area, place the nesting box preferably under eaves, overhangs or carports.
MAINTENANCE:
These nest boxes have a removable front panel for easy cleaning. Although birds will clean their own nest boxes before each breeding season, cleaning the boxes out at the end of each breeding season (October) may encourage them to be used again in future years, as it reduces parasites.
