Woodstone® Starling Box 45mm Hole

Description

Description

This 45mm hole nest box will be used by Starlings.

Siting

Hang the nest box with the supplied screw or nail. No nesting material needs to be added.

Hang the nest box at a height of at least 2 meters along the edge of the forest or in the forest itself (or if other suitable location available). Starlings like to breed close to each other, so it is recommended to hang up several nest boxes in the same area.

Optional:
The nest box can also be attached to a tree without a nail or screw by means of a Velcro. To do this, turn the suspension bracket 180 degrees at the rear.

Maintenance

Clean the nesting box once a year when the youngsters have fledged. To open the nest box simply turn the two screw hooks at the front 180 degrees, the front of the nest box can then be removed. If a second brood follows, the nest box must be cleaned again in the late autumn. The reliability of the suspension must also be checked annually.
