Nesting Box Axioms 



The following principles are well to bear in mind 

 regardless of the source from which the nesting box comes : 



The box must be suitable to attract birds. 



The size of the box itself, as well as the size of the 

 entrance hole, must be correct. We give this table in 

 the hope that it may be useful as a guide to those putting 

 up home-made boxes: 



Bluebirds and tree swallows: the box should be 12 x 6 x 5 

 inches, size of the hole ij inches, and the box should be be- 

 tween 8 and 30 feet from the ground.
