Description
The best height for your nest box is between 1.5m and 3m high, and should be sited higher if your area has a particularly high cat population.
These nest boxes have a removable front panel for easy cleaning. Although birds will clean their own nest boxes before each breeding season, cleaning the boxes out at the end of each breeding season may encourage them to be used again in future years, as it reduces parasites. The nesting time of birds varies from species to species so we suggest you wait until October when the last of the birds will have left before cleaning. The nest may come out easily but if there are any deposits scrape them out. We recommend using hot water rather than chemicals to remove any parasites that remain. Take care when opening your nest box as other species such as bats, wasps and bumblebees may have started to use the nest.
