Hi All,
The other day there was a discussion on the metal entrance hole protectors...I can't find the thread now.
Does anyone remember this discussion, and what was the outcome....I *think* people were saying that putting them on seemed to be favourable to the birds, and attracted more nesters?
I have no hole protector on my two homemade boxes, but am thinking of putting one on today, in the last ditch attempt to attract a potential late nester Maybe it reflects in the sunlight etc and attracts them???
(My Aldi box does have a protector, and there is a nest being currently built)
How many people on this forum have the covers on the entrance hole and currently have a nest being built right now?
Also how many people on this forum have left their boxes with natural wood and how many have painted wood?
- does this also make a difference to attracting birds do you think?
