Breeding Boxes are a great way to encourage birds to visit and nest in your garden throughout the year. They allow bird lovers to enjoy watching birds raise their young and bring natural sounds to the surroundings.

Placement Tips

• Ensure a clear flight path to the box without foliage blocking the entrance.
• Place it in a shaded area to help protect young birds from heat.
• Install it somewhere safe from cats or predators.
• Position it among trees or greenery in a quiet location.
• Mount the box about 1-5 metres above the ground, depending on the bird species you want to attract.

Avoid disturbing the box too often. You may place a small amount of bedding material (such as feathers or fibres) inside, though birds may replace it with their own.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Maintain a clean bird box to prevent bacteria, fungus, or pests. Only clean it after birds have finished using it for the season.

Steps

• Open the box for easy access.
• Remove old bedding, droppings, and debris.
• Scrub with a very weak bleach solution (do not use insecticides).
• Rinse thoroughly with clean or boiling water.
• Leave it open to dry completely before reinstalling.
