FAQs
What size birds is this bird box suitable for?
This bird box is generally suitable for small garden birds such as robins, wrens, and blue tits. The specific species attracted can depend on the box dimensions and your local environment.
Do I need to treat the wood?
The FSC Pinewood is naturally durable. Avoid treating the interior. The exterior can be left natural to weather, or you can apply a non-toxic, water-based exterior wood sealant if desired, ensuring it is fully cured before mounting.
When is the best time to put up a bird box?
The best time to put up a bird box is typically in the autumn or early winter. This gives birds time to find it before the nesting season begins in spring, and it can also be used for winter roosting.
How often should I clean the bird box?
It is recommended to clean the bird box once a year, after the nesting season has finished. This is usually in late autumn. Remove old nesting material to prevent parasites and make it ready for new occupants.
What are the dimensions of the bird box?
The dimensions of the bird box are 16.7 x 13.8 x 25.8cm.
What material is the bird box made from?
The bird box is made from 100% FSC certified Pinewood and features copper accents.
Are fixings included for mounting the bird box?
No, wall fixings are not included with this bird box and must be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Bird box is not attracting birds.
Ensure the location is quiet, sheltered, and at an appropriate height. Check for nearby predators or excessive human activity. Birds may also take time to discover and trust a new nesting site.
Wood appears to be weathering or warping.
This is normal for natural wood exposed to the elements. Ensure it is securely mounted. While the wood is durable, extreme conditions may cause some changes. Regular inspection for stability is recommended.
Difficulty mounting the bird box.
Since fixings are not included, ensure you are using suitable screws or brackets for the surface (e.g., wood screws for a tree, appropriate anchors for a wall). Make sure the mounting surface is stable and secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Homescapes Bird Box House, first select a suitable location. Ideal spots are on a wall, tree trunk, or sturdy shrub, at least 1.5-2 meters above the ground, offering some protection from predators and the elements. Note: Wall fixings are not included; you will need to provide appropriate screws or brackets for your chosen mounting surface. Ensure the bird box is securely fastened. The primary material is 100% FSC Pinewood with copper elements, which is naturally weather-resistant. For ongoing care, periodically clean out old nesting material after the breeding season (usually late autumn). A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is sufficient; avoid harsh chemicals. Do not paint or varnish the interior of the bird box, as this can be harmful to birds.
