FAQs

What birds will use the Elho Cosy Bird House?

It is designed for over 11 species of garden birds, most notably sparrows and blue tits.

When should I clean the bird house?

The best time to clean the house is in the autumn, once you are certain that the nesting season has fully concluded.

Does the red color scare the birds away?

No, birds are generally unaffected by the color of the house, provided it is installed in a safe and secure location.

Can I paint the bird house?

It is not recommended to paint or alter the exterior, as the materials are already weather-resistant and chemicals in paint could be harmful to birds.

Is this bird house suitable for winter use?

Yes, many birds use nesting boxes as a refuge from the cold during winter months, provided they are kept clean.

How high should I mount the bird house?

A mounting height of approximately 2 to 4 meters is typically recommended to keep birds safe from ground-based predators.

Troubleshooting

Birds are not nesting in the house.

Ensure the house is installed in a quiet, undisturbed area away from predators and that the entrance is not facing direct prevailing winds.

Water collecting inside the base.

Check that the drainage holes at the bottom are clear of debris or nesting material obstructions.

Difficulty separating the unit for cleaning.

Gently wiggle the sections to loosen any accumulated grit or nesting debris; do not force the plastic parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Elho Cosy Bird House, ensure it is mounted firmly on a stable surface away from direct, harsh sunlight and prevailing winds. It is best to face the opening away from the prevailing wind direction to prevent rain from entering. For care, perform a deep clean at the end of every summer. Use the dismantlable feature to separate the parts and clean the interior with hot water; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can be toxic to birds. Ensure the house is completely dry before reassembling it for the winter, as it can serve as a cold-weather roosting spot for birds.
