FAQs
What type of bird is this house best suited for?
This bird house is specifically designed for Wrens, offering them a safe place to nest and shelter.
How do I mount the bird house?
You can easily hang it in hedges or trees. For optimal use, place it in a sheltered spot below 2 meters (6.5 ft) height, facing north or east.
When should I clean the bird house?
It is best to clean the bird house after the breeding season is over, typically in late summer or early autumn.
How thick are the walls of the bird house?
The walls are 18mm thick, providing excellent insulation to keep the birds warm in winter and cool in summer.
Why are the inner sides roughened?
The roughened inner sides help young birds, or fledglings, to easily climb out of the box when they are ready to leave the nest.
What are the dimensions of the bird house?
The dimensions are approximately 14.1 cm wide, 15.4 cm deep, and 21.2 cm high.
Does the bird house come assembled?
Yes, the bird house is ready to be hung upon arrival. It also comes in a full-color gift box.
Will this house protect birds from predators?
The design offers protection from the elements and a hidden nesting space. While it's designed for safety, placing it in a dense hedge or shrubbery can further deter predators.
Troubleshooting
No birds are using the bird house.
Ensure the placement is suitable: low to the ground, in a sheltered area, with a clear flight path, and facing away from prevailing winds and strong sun. Check if the house is too close to human activity or potential predators.
Water is accumulating inside the bird house.
Verify that the four drainage holes in the base are clear and not blocked by debris. Ensure the roof is properly angled to direct water away.
The bird house seems too hot inside.
Ensure the ventilation holes are clear and unobstructed. If the location receives intense afternoon sun, consider repositioning it to face more towards the north or east.
Difficulty cleaning the bird house.
Make sure the front panel is fully hinged and secured properly. If it's stiff, check for any obstructions and ensure the hinge mechanism is clean.
