This nesting box is expertly designed for sparrows and other small wild birds that prefer to nest together in colonies.
The dimensions are Height: 30 cm x Width: 30 cm x Depth: 30 cm.
The front panel is removable for easy cleaning. After the nesting season, remove old nesting material and wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners.
The nesting box is constructed from strong 12mm ply wood.
The nesting box weighs approximately 10.4 kg.
The box is designed with keyhole fittings for secure mounting, which are integrated into the design.
The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Ensure the box is placed in a suitable location with access to food and water sources nearby. Check that the entrance size is appropriate for target species and that there are no obstructions.
Inspect the box for any structural issues. Minor wear is natural. Consider applying a bird-safe wood sealant or treatment to protect the material, especially if exposed to harsh weather.
Ensure all securing mechanisms for the front panel are loosened. If it's stiff due to weather, gently try to ease it open. Avoid forcing it to prevent damage.
Setup: To install, locate a suitable position on a tree, wall, or garden fence, ideally in a sheltered spot away from prevailing winds and direct, prolonged sunlight. Use the integrated keyhole fittings to securely mount the box. Ensure the box is level or slightly tilted forward to aid drainage.
Compatibility: This box is specifically designed for sparrows and other small wild birds that may nest colonially. While other small birds might investigate, its primary utility is for species that benefit from multi-compartment structures.
Care: The removable front panel allows for easy cleaning. After the nesting season has concluded (typically in late autumn), remove the old nesting material. Wipe the interior with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using any cleaning chemicals, as these can be harmful to birds. Inspect the wood periodically and consider applying a bird-safe wood treatment if necessary to prolong its lifespan, especially in damp climates.
