Nest box wren

No garden should without a nesting box. This basic nesting box made from natural materials will give the Wren a good place to nest and will help conserve their population or help their reintroduction in a certain area. In the winter months the box is ideal for birds that need to take shelter from the elements. Place the nesting box on a tree or wall at a maximum height of 2 m (6.6 ft.) in a well hidden spot between shrubbery. Not in direct sunlight or in the prevailing rain side, with an unhindered flight path for the bird. Due to the territorial behaviour of the birds it is best to hang he nesting box at a minimum of 10 m (32 ft.) away from nesting boxes of the same species and at a minimum of 3 m (10 ft.) away from feeding houses. Fall is the best time to clean a nesting box.
