Not all birds make their nests on trees and bushes. Some birds, such as Great Tits need cavities, holes or eaves to nest and raise their families. Such spaces are far from abundant and putting up a nest box can be a great way for providing a home to these birds. Building your nestbox is a simple, fun and rewarding experience. During the workshop, several nests for smaller birds will be available to be made and taken home, and nests for Scops Owls will be made to be placed in the Agros community.
