House sparrows, once a common species are now in decline. House sparrows like to live near other sparrows, preferring the area around the eaves of houses. However, many modern houses are not ‘sparrow-friendly’.  This bird box can be erected close to the eaves to replicate this favoured nesting place.
 
Three separate nesting places in one box.
Deep box with a high entrance hole to reduce predation.
Drainage holes in the base to prevent waterlogging.
Exterior painted with non-toxic, low VOC preservative, available in a selection of colours.
Roofing felt which protects the box from the weather, making it last much longer.
32mm entrance holes.
Hinged roof which allows easy cleaning at the end of the breeding season ( the roof is held by two long nails into blocks on the underside of the roof - not hooks and eyes as shown in some of the photos).
 
 The box measures approximately 33cm/16” (H), 52cm/20.5” (W) and 20cm/8” (D) (including the fixing battens).
