Eurasian Tree Sparrow: Nest boxes

The Eurasian Tree Sparrow readily takes to a nest box and is easy to attract in farmyard and woodland-edge settings.

| Measurement | Value | |---|---| | Entrance hole | approx. 32 mm | | Internal floor | approx. 12 × 12 cm | | Mounting height | 2-4 m | | Location | farmyard, woodland edge or garden near open ground |

  • Since the species breeds in loosely knit colonies, several boxes close together work well.
  • Avoid dense urban development - the tree sparrow prefers rural settings over the House Sparrow's city environments.
