its interesting to read the comments as to wether the boxes work as nest boxes or not, ive just started to use the boxes again this year as i put the birds down to breed and so far i'm getting 100% success in them being used

 

re the aspect of cleaning. i have two sets of boxes, and replace any dirty boxes with a clean and prepared box, then simply wash with a bleach solution and rinse with a hosepipe

 

during the non breeding weeks they have been folded flat and stored out of the way, i find them a win win product in many ways, price - easy to maintain - easy to store - and would be easy to obtain more if i wanted to add to the number i use

 

good luck to all during the breeding weeks

I am a tippler fancier, and looked at these boxes in wilkinsons today, my birds are half the size of racers,i wouldnt use these as think they to small for birds to tread in especially with the pan inside, and forget it if you want two pans inside box

Just ordered some on line so that i can pick them up next weekend, £1.74 each,

Great for starters like me who`s not sure what the future holds and don't want to put hundreds of pounds into something i have not been involved with before.

It was what put me off them when i looked.

 

Still debating trying walkers crisps boxes though as with selling my stock loft will use a converted garden shed for the couple of pairs of stock (I think)

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
