Installation:
- Ideally face the box between north and east which will avoid strong sunlight and the wettest winds.
- Ensure their is a clear flight path to the box excluding for Robins.
- Boxes are best installed in the autumn as many birds will enter nest over winter and will often use the same box in the following spring.
- Use a single screw or nail to hold the box in place we recommend at least 1 1/2" (37mm) if you have sufficient material to fix into.
