WHERE TO PLACE YOUR BIRDBOX
Different birds have different needs when it comes to choosing where to place your
birdbox. Generally you should look to place your box in a quiet spot in the garden
amongst other plants or trees, making sure to leave a clear path in for your birds to
make their landing.
Unless there is a tree or building providing shade, it is generally a good idea to face
the box between north and east to avoid direct sunlight and strong winds. Tilting
the box slightly forward will also help to prevent rain from coming straight into the
nesting area.
For bluebirds, robins and wrens you should place your birdbox 1.5 to 2 metres high,
well surrounded by planting.
For sparrows, starlings, tits and spotted flycatchers you should place your birdbox
2m - 4m high and slightly covered with a clear entrance.
For woodpeckers, owls and kestrels you should place your birdbox between 3m -
5m high, in a nice open space.
If there are cats and other bird predators in the area then you should look to place
your bird box a minimum of 2m above ground level.
2m - Robins, Wrens
3m - Sparrows, Tits, Starlings
5m - Woodpeckers, Owls
