Great box for the sparrows. The two long pieces unscrew to allow access to the three individual nesting boxes. We’ve added some wood treatment on the outside. Took some trees down and felt obliged to replace the birds habitat with a few boxes. Looks super.
Sparrows love this box. A lot of squabbles to see who gets a space and as one female has taken over the whole thing, roosting in a different section each night and chasing off anyone else who lands on it we thought we’d get 2 more. Oh no! Unavailable. Found one on Amazon that looked pretty much the same so bought 2. The 2 that have arrived are nothing like as good as this one and the entrance holes are tiny to the point where- although we’ve painted them before we put them up and realised- it doesn’t look feasible for the birds to safely get in and out. Happily this one is now available again so have ordered 2 to replace the 2 from another company. Bit of a faff as you have to remove the top and bottom struts on the front to get to the box fronts for painting or cleaning but just 4 screws so no problem.
As described by seller, well made looking forward to painting it, already have one like this on the wall and had two lots of sparrows rearing chicks hopefully this will have the same success.
As this is recommended to be placed under the gutters, I don’t want to have to keep taking it down for maintenance ( cleaning aside) Painted with garden paint that is pet friendly and only the outside and the covered top and sides with some spare lead flashing to waterproof/damp proof the roof and sides. Just need some tenants now . Well made and no rough edges.
Shame it’s untreated ! Also to remove the door panels,it appears we have to unscrew the bars that are screwed in position !
Not the best design.
Good value for the price. Would buy again. 4 stars because it is nor treated.
Well made sturdy product, but as its quite heavy I did add two more hangers before fixing it in place. All we need now is for the sparrows to move i
Well made and sparrows love it. More privacy than an open joke nest box.
