Bird box made of VHS tapes

Want a good use for those old VHS fitness tapes? How about converting them into a bird box. It is the new rise in recycling old technology. We really like the fact that one of the holes is an entrance hole for the bird. Although, plastic is not a brilliant material for boxes as it does not breathe as well as wood. What a great idea though...Go for it, build one today.

If you get a camera kit, we give you some plans on how to build your own. Check out the bird box camera kit here.

Birds really love wooden bird boxes

Traditionally, bird boxes are made of wood as they mimic the natural bird habitat. But they are know to be made of concrete, woodcrete, plaster, corrugated signs and yes even metal! However, the best boxes are large, wooden, dry, easy to access and feel safe and secure for raising a brood. Handykam nest boxes are built with birds in mind. They are large, dry, robust and well designed for most birds. Built from years of knowledge of birds in mind and bird box cameras too.

National bird box week NBBW - February 14th to 21st 2010

Every year the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) holds the national bird box week on valentines day – February 14th 2010. We are all encouraged to put of nest boxes to help our native birds thus hopefully reversing declining numbers.

Over several years, our birds have been struck by ever changing habitats, climates, feeding patterns and conditions. This winter has recorded some of the lowest temperatures for decades. There is no doubt that this has had a drastic effect on our native bird numbers. By having bird boxes, we are at least giving them an opportunity to breed and increase numbers.

So if you want to get involved, why not get your family, school, local group and spend an hour siting boxes in gardens, parks etc. Or, why not grab yourself a lump of wood (New or recycled) and make a few bird boxes. It is great fun and easy to do. Feel proud that you have given a brood a home and you have had fun too!
