Making nest boxes

Kinderen maken nestkastje

With a nest box you lure the birds to your garden. So cozy, all those birds! It brings life to your garden. Such a nest box gives birds a shelter and nesting place, shelter in winter, breed in spring. They fly back and forth to feed their young.

Some members of bird working group ’t Hökske are ready for you today to help make such a nest box. We provide the materials needed such as wood and nails. We have the tools at hand that are needed to build such a cabinet. So that should work! A €6 fee is charged for the material.

Find a quiet place in the garden to hang the cabinet, against a wall or a tree trunk. Not in full sun and sheltered from the wind. Securely fasten so that it cannot move back and forth. And… cleaning annually in September or October. Then you can enjoy it for a long time.
