Good afternoon birdy lovers :)
Could you give me a little advice please those in the know. I want to hang a bird box at the rear of my property but it's south facing. There truly is only the house wall the attach too. I thought if i made the entrance hole on the east side of the box and extended the roof to create shade it might help. Am i being silly and forget trying or has anyone else managed to fit a south facing box with a shade etc?
Many thanks
I have put up a box for the first time, I took advice from a friend who said always face a nest box with a north entrance
Hi Marzipan,
North, East, or West. Just not South.
Cheers, Linda.
