Description
To mitigate and compensate for starlings, several facilities are often installed. These can include nest boxes as well as pole-mounted starling boxes. A pole-mounted nesting box has the significant advantage of not creating pollution on the facade, which is often the case when starlings nest in boxes on or in the facade.
This pole-mounted nesting box provides 9 nest boxes under one roof for multiple starling pairs. It is also used by house and ring sparrows.
The pole-mounted nesting box is constructed of a metal frame finished with exterior plywood and treated with a coat of Ecolabel paint in color RAL 9010. The roof is covered with black roofing slate, and the roof structure features an additional layer for ventilation, preventing the nest boxes from overheating in hot weather.
When properly placed, pole-mounted nesting boxes can withstand wind forces of at least 10.
