Thank you for purchasing a Jennyruth nest box from our habitat range. All our boxes, apart from the bat box, have been painted on the outside only with a water based, animal friendly preservative.

Your nest box should be put up to face between North and East to avoid strong sunlight and the wettest winds unless there are trees or buildings to shade the box.

Wren boxes

• Position your nest box between 3ft and 10ft above ground.
• Wrens prefer a secluded area with plenty of cover.
• The box may be nestled in the branches of a tree or in a location that included nearby bushes.

Fixing your nest box

Please use the metal fixing or battens provided as nailing a nest box to a tree may damage the tree. Attach the metal fixing/batten to the tree either by a strap threaded between the batten and the box or to a wall by putting a screw through the top of the batten.

Cleaning your nest box

In some nest boxes the bottom or side of the box can be opened to provide access. The box should be cleaned out once a year in October or November. It is recommended to use boiling water to kill parasites. Please do not use flea powder or pesticides, as these may cause harm to future birds.
