When do birds use the nest boxes?

Perhaps you think birds only use nest boxes in spring. In reality, the nest boxes can serve an important purpose throughout the year. While spring is the peak of the breeding season for birds like robins and blue tits, nest boxes provide crucial shelter during the colder months as well. In autumn and winter, birds often seek a warm and safe place to sleep, which helps them survive harsh conditions. Installing nest boxes in your garden during autumn allows birds to familiarize themselves with the nesting spots, increasing the chances of successful breeding when spring arrives.

Placement of the bird house

Choosing the right location for hanging the nest box is crucial if you want to ensure it is both safe and attractive to birds. Ideal locations include tree-mounted, wall-mounted, or pole-mounted areas in your garden, backyard, or even on a balcony. Be sure to place the bird house away from potential predators like cats, and ensure the entrance is facing away from prevailing winds, ideally towards the north or east.

5 essential tips for setting up your nesting box

1. Place the nest box 2-3 meters above the ground.

2. Face the entrance to the east or southeast. Also make sure it is not in full sunlight or has a prevailing wind blowing straight in the box.

3. Make sure the roof leans forward to stop rain from getting inside.

4. Use rust-free aluminum nails or sturdy wire loops for safe installation. If you hang the bird house on a tree, this solution won’t harm the tree.

5. Do you have multiple boxes of the same type? Place them at least 10 meters apart.

How to clean the nest box?

Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining a healthy environment inside your nest box. Ideally, clean the box after the breeding season, removing old nests and debris to prevent the buildup of pests such as mites and wasps. You can also use our eco-friendly cleaning products to disinfect the nest box without harming future bird inhabitants.
