oldguy Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 during a shopping run to wilkinson's i noticed their fold flat storage boxes, £2 each, thought i would try a few as nest boxes, they should be easy to spray clean and at that price they can be binned at the end of summer, or if still in good condition flattened and stored for the winter kev
OLDYELLOW Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 i think only draw back would be no room to mate in there box
oldguy Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Posted February 7, 2009 they manage ok the boxes are a decent size, its the photo that makes them look smaller.. or they can pop down to the floor if they want to be a bit more active, i put the boxes in 3 days ago and each one is now taken kev
greenlands Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Brilliant idea mate,would have cost that for nest box fronts.Lindsay C

oldguy Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Posted February 10, 2009 Great idea, have you lined them inside ? hi I lined the base with corrugated card, toped with sheets of newspaper, and used the corrugated card on two sides to offer privacy and to stop the poop from YB's being sprayed into the next box
