Bird box design / siting
« on: January 06, 2014, 06:13:20 pm »
Anyone got any good links to resources for design and siting of bird boxes?  I get loads of free pallets and am thinking of making up a load for our 5 acre wood. But I need to know what I'm aiming at in terms of design and best placing etc.

Try a company called the Owl Box. I bought OH one for christmas. You can see the different types and dimensions on there and they tell you about siting too.
