How to use

Choose a quiet location 2–4 metres above ground where the nest box faces away from prevailing winds and direct strong sunlight. Secure the box to a tree trunk, post, or mounting pole using corrosion‑resistant fittings; avoid driving screws through the cavity itself. Place the entrance at an appropriate height for the target species and ensure the box is stable and level. Open the cleaning panel outside the breeding season to remove old nesting material and inspect for damage. Do not disturb active nests during the breeding period.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the nest box annually for structural integrity and signs of wear. Clean out old nesting material in late autumn or winter, and replace or repair any damaged parts before the next breeding season. Position the box where it is sheltered from prevailing winds and predators, and consider adding a predator guard on the mounting post if required.
