The Peckish Garden Bird Nest Box, is a great way to help birds during the breeding season. Designed to BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) nest box standards and made from FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood with a strong and durable design. Featuring a pre-drilled screw hole for easy hanging and drainage holes to prevent the build up of moisture in bird nests.
Place the nest box away from any high winds and rain and keep out of direct sunlight. Keep away from bird feeders as feeding birds can disturb nesting birds. If the nest box is being attached to a tree, angle the front of the box slightly downwards to prevent water entering. Position the nest box around 1.2m to 2m off the ground to prevent the risk of predators and in a quiet place.
Nest boxes can be cleaned out between 1st August and 31st January but be aware that some birds may still be breeding! Removing old nests can reduce the number of nest parasites, including fleas, present the following season. Always ensure wild birds have plenty of fresh, clean water for drinking and bathing. Clean feeding and drinking areas regularly with a mild disinfectant.
