Frequently asked questions about bird boxes
Where is the best place to put a bird box?
The best place to put your bird box is mounted in a tree, facing between north and east. This will protect visiting birds from direct sunlight, wind and rain, creating a safe and comfortable environment for any growing nestlings or tired birds inside. We also recommend slightly tilting the bird box down, allowing for any trapped rain to filter out.
What time of year should you put up a bird box?
Whilst bird boxes can be put up any time of year, the best time is between November and December. This is because many native UK species of birds will start looking for nesting spaces as early as January - allowing your bird box to be their new home during nesting season later into spring. Add on a bird box camera to see the nestlings in action before they come!
H3: How do you attract birds to your new bird box?
The best way to attract birds to your new bird box is to make your garden as bird-friendly as possible. This includes planting native greenery, providing a water source (such as a birdbath), installing bird feeders around your bird box and leaving the bird box empty for birds to naturally create a nest inside.
