This surface-mounted sparrow box is suitable for mitigation and compensation of house sparrow nesting sites. It can be used in new construction, renovation projects, and existing buildings.
Recognized by:
- It is preferable to hang several nest boxes together with a minimum horizontal and vertical spacing of 50 cm apart. This allows for the possibility of colony establishment.
- The boxes may be hung on any facade, provided that they do not face southwest and that the entrance to the box is not in the sun all day.
- The nest boxes should be hung at least 3 meters high. Ideal locations are directly under rain gutters or overhangs.
- Do not add nesting material.
- Hanging the nest box is easy with the hardware provided. First, place the Z-hook in the desired location. Then place the nest box over the hook. The box can be further secured to the wall with the plug and screw provided.
If desired, the box can be cleaned after the breeding season (preferably during the winter months). To do this, unscrew the box from the wall and take it off the hook. The opening at the back of the box allows for easy cleaning.
