No, these boxes are made for wild birds and therefore we do not interfere with their breeding.
Our nest boxes are made to accommodate wild birds and therefore we can't tell when they will be occupied. However, due to the lack of natural cavities, the chances are very high, according to the specific habitat.
Under the description of each design, you will find the bird species which are most likely to occupy your purchased nest box. If you would like to attract a different species to your place which is not mentioned on our website, get in touch with us.
Because of the weather conditions of Cyprus, it is recommended to place the boxes with northern orientation. North face of trees or buildings will provide the birds with shelter from heat.
The team can also professionally install the bird boxes at your place. For the cost of delivery and installation, get in touch with us.
You can observe the birds without disturbing them from a distance or by installing our Wifi Nest Box Camera. It is illegal to disturb nesting birds, so it is not advised to approach the nest box or open it during the breeding season.
Birds usually start laying eggs in spring. The breeding season can last from March until August. However, occasionally birds may breed even earlier than that.

The microphone allows the camera to capture high-quality audio for such a small size. If you are not hearing any sound when you are watching your camera there are a couple of simple solutions.
