WHERE TO PLACE YOUR BIRD BOX
Di erent birds have di erent needs when it comes to choosing where to place your bird
box. Generally you should look to place your box in a quiet spot in the garden amongst
other plants or trees, making sure to leave a clear path in for your birds to make their
landing.
Unless there is a tree or building providing shade, it is generally a good idea to face the box
between north and east to avoid direct sunlight and strong winds. Tilting the box slightly
forward will also help to prevent rain from coming straight into the nesting area.
For blackbirds, robins and wrens you should place your bird box 1.5 to 2 metres high, well
surrounded by planting.
For sparrows, starlings, tits and spotted ycatchers you should place your bird box 2 to 4
metres high and slightly covered with a clear entrance.
For woodpeckers, owls and kestrels you should place your bird box between 3 to 5 metres
high in a nice open space.
If there are cats and other bird predators in the area then you should look to place
your bird box a minimum of 2 metres above ground level.
