Where is the best place to put up a bird box?
Choosing the location
Unless there are trees or buildings which shade the box during the day, face the box between north and east, thus avoiding strong sunlight and the wettest winds. Make sure that the birds have a clear flight path to the nest without any clutter directly in front of the entrance.
Should I put anything in my bird box?
Don't put anything in your bird box (birds are clever an resourceful enough to build their own nest). Don't put nesting boxes too close to each other. Finally, when the birds have left the nest give it a clean ready for the next inhabitants.
