the jay

When the tree is in leaf you may well get wrens in there as longs as its quiet on the other side.

Some ofthe gardens I work in have boxes as low as this that are regularly used.

 

just next doors garden .. the fence has carpet gripper on the top that next door has put on .. may move the nest box if need be

 

Too low Ste especially with moggies around try putting it on the side of the house but not the side facing the full sun.

 

walnut how long can i expect a robin to live if it avoids all preds as i now have a resident robin , been buying suet pellets he loves them and now visits all the time. im too tight to pay for meal worms be nice if i get a pair nesting

 

Ste the answer to your question is that most adult small birds in temperate regions such as ours live for between 1�¼ and 1�½ years, but that only about 10-20% of young reach adulthood. Big birds, seabirds and tropical birds can live much longer. But some individuals of any species can live as much as ten times as long as the average - thatâ��s like an exceptional human living for about 800 years!The oldest recorded age for a robin was about 11years.

 

Blimey Walnut, average age for a robin about 1 and a bit years, oldest 11. Flipping heck :eek:

It's a shame to think our little birds only live that long :( .

Blooming wind blew our bird table over, will get it back up next week.

Cheers

 

same here borrowers 1 and a bit years .would have never known that all the more reason to feed em up if they not here that long might as well let them enjoy the grub
