Small Round Seagrass Bird Box - Brown

This bird box is ideal for small bird species such as wrens, finches, sparrows, and chickadees due to its compact dimensions (17x17cm).

Seagrass is a natural and durable material that offers good weather resistance. However, like all natural materials exposed to the elements, it may show signs of wear over extended periods of harsh weather.

It is recommended to clean the bird box once a year, after the nesting season has concluded (typically in late autumn). Remove old nesting material and brush out debris.

It is not recommended to paint or treat the bird box with chemicals, as these can be harmful to birds. The natural seagrass provides a safe and desirable habitat as it is.

Hang the bird box in a location that offers some shelter from direct sun, strong winds, and predators. Placing it 5-10 feet high on a tree, under an eave, or within dense shrubs is generally effective.

The bird box weighs approximately 210g, making it lightweight and easy to hang or position.

The natural brown colour of the seagrass helps the bird box blend into its surroundings, which can make it more appealing and less conspicuous to predators, enhancing safety for nesting birds.

Ensure the location is safe and sheltered from wind and predators. Check if the entrance hole size is appropriate for local small bird species. Birds may also take time to discover and accept a new nesting site.

Inspect the seagrass material for significant tears or structural weakness. Minor fraying is normal for natural materials. If structural integrity is compromised, consider replacement.

Use a dry, stiff brush to dislodge compacted material. For stubborn debris, a putty knife can be used carefully. Ensure the box is completely dry before placing it back outside.

Check if the placement location is too exposed to rain. Ensure the drainage (if any incorporated through the weave) is not blocked. The natural seagrass is breathable, but excessive moisture may indicate poor placement.
