FAQ

What type of wood are the birdhouses made from?

Our wood birdhouses primarily utilise sustainably sourced Western Red Cedar and treated Pine. Cedar is naturally weather-resistant and durable, while the Pine has been pressure-treated to withstand outdoor conditions for up to 10 years.

How do I clean a wooden birdhouse?

Clean your birdhouse annually after nesting season (typically late autumn or early winter) using warm water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals like detergents, which can harm the birds. Ensure it is completely dry before re-hanging.

Are the feeders squirrel-proof?

While we design our feeders with squirrel deterrents in mind – such as conical feeding ports – squirrels are persistent! Regularly monitor your feeder and consider adding baffles or greasing poles to discourage them.

How do I hang a wooden birdhouse?

Most of our wood birdhouses come with pre-drilled holes for easy attachment using sturdy wire or twine. Ensure the hanging location is sheltered from strong winds and direct sunlight, ideally mounted on a tree trunk or post.

Will the wood rot if it gets wet?

The timber we use is treated to resist rot and decay, significantly extending its lifespan. However, regular maintenance – cleaning and checking for damage – is still essential for optimal longevity. Applying a sealant annually can provide added protection.

What size birdhouse should I buy?

Different species prefer different sized homes. Smaller birdhouses (around 60-80mm) are suitable for blue tits and wrens, while larger ones (90mm+) are ideal for robins and swallows. Research the nesting preferences of birds in your area before making a purchase.

How do I attract more birds to my wooden birdhouse?

Strategic placement is key - choose a location with some cover nearby, away from direct sunlight and predators. Providing fresh water and suitable food sources (such as mealworms) will also greatly increase your chances of attracting avian visitors.

Can I paint or stain my wood birdhouse?

We recommend using non-toxic paints or stains specifically designed for outdoor use to protect the wood and ensure it is safe for birds. Allow the paint/stain to fully dry and cure before hanging the birdhouse, and avoid dark colours which absorb more heat.

What maintenance should I do on wooden wildlife feeders?

Regularly check your feeder for signs of damage – loose screws, cracks, or splintered wood. Repair any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration and ensure safety for the animals using it. Cleaning is also crucial to remove old food and deter pests.

Are these products suitable for hedgehog feeding?

Several of our wooden feeders, particularly the larger log feeders and squirrel feeders, can be adapted to provide a supplementary food source for hedgehogs. Offer them portions of nuts, seeds, and fruit regularly in addition to their natural foraging opportunities.
