Woodstone Build-in House Sparrow Nest Box (UK) 90071
Description
This Woodstone® Build-in House Sparrow Nest Box is constructed from a mix of concrete and wood fibres. WoodStone® nest boxes safeguard against attacks from predators including woodpeckers, cats and squirrels. The material insulates the nest which creates a more consistent internal temperature than an ordinary wooden box. This is especially important during the breeding season and ensures that young birds have a greater chance of survival.
House Sparrows prefer to nest in groups or colonies, so this nest box has been designed with 2 chambers to allow them to breed in close proximity.
Siting
We recommend using aluminium nails to hang due to the weight of the nest box and to limit any damage caused to trees.
Maintenance
Clean the nesting box once a year when the youngsters have flown out. If a second brood follows, the nest box must be cleaned again in the late autumn. The reliability of the suspension must also be checked annually.
