How to Position & Fit Your Nest Box

Position the nest box so it is sheltered from strong wind, heavy rain, and direct sunlight. The front of the box should be angled slightly downwards to help prevent rain from entering. When installing, use galvanised or stainless steel screws or nails to avoid rusting.  Ensure the box is placed out of reach of cats and squirrels, and install it high up on a wall—at least 3 metres above the ground—for added protection.

When to Clean Your Nest Box
Clean the nest box once a year, preferably in autumn (September–October) after the breeding season. Always ensure the box is empty before cleaning. Avoid cleaning during spring or summer, as birds may be nesting.

How to Clean Your Nest Box

1. Open the nest box and remove all old nesting material.

2. Brush out debris thoroughly, including corners and drainage holes.

3. Wash the box with hot water only—avoid chemicals.

4. Allow the box to dry completely before closing it again.
