Once the eggs have been produced, both parents will alternate in sitting on them and keeping them warm. Even if the nesting season does not begin until Spring, there are many advantages to hanging new nest boxes in Autumn. The garden birds can get to know and explore the nesting opportunity at an early stage – this increases the chance of a successful brood. In addition, nesting boxes serve birds and small mammals as a shelter and sleeping place in the cold winter.

A properly designed nestbox in a high place is safe for the babies because they will not be physically capable of leaving the box until they are old enough to fly. If they fall out of the nest at that point they will instinctively flap their wings to avoid a hard landing.

This encourages exercise and physical stimulation. It also provides an area where males can easily mount the females, which is important for successful breeding. To encourage breeding, you should provide your birds with an environment that mimics their natural habitat How To Introduce the Breeding Pair Infertile eggs will not have red veins and may appear clear or cloudy. On the fifth day, it’s best to inspect the eggs by candling them. We recommend that nestboxes are cleaned and old nests removed in the autumn. Ideally, do this from September onwards, but make sure the nest is no longer active – some species can nest right through September. You can buy the wood at a hardware store already cut, or you can cut it yourself. If you cut it yourself, you’ll need 4 panels measuring 10″ x 12″ (25.4 cm x 30.4 cm) for the sides of the nest. Then you’ll need 2 panels measuring 12″ x 12″ (30.4 cm x 30.4 cm) for the top and bottom of the box.It is essential to have 2 ½ to 3 inches of appropriate litter in the bottom of the nest to provide warmth and protection for the eggs and babies. The nest litter has several important functions. It is a cushion under the eggs that retains both heat and moisture in the developing eggs. The bedding’s ability to retain heat lets the parents go out of the nestbox for short periods of time without fear that the eggs will immediately chill. The parents bring moisture into the box when they bathe or dip into the water bowl before entering the nest. The bedding will absorb and retain this moisture which is needed the last week prior to hatch. The moisture is also beneficial for the first week after hatch for additional hydration (skin aborbs moisture) and feather growth for the emerging pinfeathers. Nest litter also prevents the babies from developing splay leg, a preventable deformity caused by the babies sitting on a surface that is too hard for them. Splay leg is curable if it is treated early, so take action immediately if you notice that your babies’ legs are always at an abnormal angle. The cage should be kept in an area of the house that receives natural light, such as near a window. This Fallen Fruits Observation Box is the perfect way to safely keep an eye on nesting birds. Made with natural materials, this nesting box will attract an array of small birds, including the blue tit, house sparrow, great tit and flycatcher. To find out who has decided to settle inside, simply open the side door using the metal latch.

Height - Your box should be no less than 2 to 4 metres high – even higher if there are cats that prowl through your garden.A circular saw. If the wood at the hardware store isn’t already cut to the right size, you’ll have to do it yourself. A circular saw is the best tool for making straight, clean cuts. In the wild, a suitable tree cavity is found prior to nesting, and roughly lined with wood chippings and dust. You’ll need to cut the wood into 4 panels of 10″ x 12″ (25.4 x 30.4 cm), and 2 panels of 12″ x 12″ ( 30.4 cm x 30.4 cm). That’s approximately 90 square feet, so make sure you get at least that much wood to guarantee you have enough.
