These heavy duty nesting boxes are manufactured from a mix of concrete and wood fibres, WoodStone® nest boxes safeguard against attacks from predators including
woodpeckers, cats and squirrels. The material insulates the nest which creates a more consistent internal temperature than
an ordinary wooden bird box.
Hang the nest box with the supplied screw or nail. Face the box between northeast to southeast, ensuring it
is not in the sun all day. No nesting material needs to be added.
If it is likely the box will be used by a Robin or Wren, place the nest box at a height of one meter in dense bush or ivy
so that it is slightly concealed. If placing in a forest area, hang the nest box at a minimum height of two meters, and if in
an urban or industrial area, place the nesting box preferably under eaves, overhangs or carports.
The nest box can also be attached to a tree without a nail or screw by means of a Velcro. To do this, turn the suspension
bracket 180 degrees at the rear.
Open Front Nest Box Maintenance
Clean the nesting box when the chicks have fledged, turn the two screw hooks at the front
180 degrees and the front of the nest box can be removed. If a second brood follows, the nest box must be cleaned again
in the late autumn. The reliability of the suspension must also be checked annually.
