Your questions answered

Where is the best place to put a Bird Box?

• Place your Bird Box in a quiet, sheltered spot, ideally 1.7–3 meters above the ground and away from direct sunlight or prevailing winds. Ensure it’s out of reach of predators and not too close to feeding stations to avoid disturbance.

What types of birds use Nest Boxes?

• Different species prefer specific types of Bird Nest Boxes. For example, blue tits like boxes with smaller entrance holes, while robins and wrens prefer open-fronted boxes. Explore our collection to find the best option for your garden birds.

How do I clean my Wood Bird House?

• To keep your Wood Bird House safe and hygienic, clean it out at the end of the nesting season. Remove old nesting materials, scrub with warm, soapy water, and rinse thoroughly. Allow it to dry completely before re-installing.

Should I put anything inside the Bird Box?

• No, birds will bring their own nesting materials. It’s best to leave the Bird Nest Box empty so birds can customise it to their needs.
