When to Set Nesting Boxes |
NESTING BOX INFO Early Spring is the most logical time to put out a nesting box, but it is never too
late to post a NEST BOX. Because it's impossible to predict
when a particular bird will begin scouting for nest sites, posting a nest box early will better your chances of having nesting birds in your yard during the spring and summer. Set one in a tree, on a
fence, a pole or against the side of a building, ensuring that the box contains
fresh wood shavings, is at least 8 to 10 feet from the ground and facing away
from winter storms. If you already have a nest box posted, clean it out and add
fresh shavings. We can provide them at no charge. Also, to keep wasps away, rub
a mild bar soap against the ceiling and inside walls of the nest box.
