Q: Where should I place this nest box?
A: Site this box at a height of 2-3 metres with the entrance out of prevailing winds
Q: How do the sparrows access this nest box?
A: There is an entrance hole to the central nest chamber on the front, then there is an entrance hole on each end to the right and left hand nest chamber.
Q: How weather proof is the swift nest box?  Should we varnish it?
A: Swifts traditional nesting sites are under the eaves and gables of buildings.  Nest boxes should be positioned in these places, which will mean that they are out of the weather.  Varnishing, painting or treating the wood in anyway will deter the birds from nesting.
Q: There is a large round hole in the back of the nestbox, what is this for?
A: The rear hole is for cleaning if another species uses it, as Swifts are very clean.  This hole also makes it very easy to mount a camera.
Q: How to I put up the nestbox?
A: Sit under the eaves of a building, slope should come down towards you. Use the fixings in the four slots on the side of the nestbox.
