Frequently Asked Questions - IAN 270438 FLORABEST

What height should the bird house be mounted?

The bird house should be hung at a height of 2 to 3 meters above ground.

Which direction should the entry hole face?

The entry hole should face east or southeast. Avoid west (windward) and south (excessive sunlight).

When is the best time to mount the bird house?

It is best to mount the bird house in autumn so that birds, small mammals, and insects can use it for sleeping and hibernating.

How far apart should multiple bird houses be?

Bird houses of the same design should be hung at least 10 meters apart, except for colony hatchers like sparrows, starlings, and swallows.

How do I clean the bird house?

Clean after the breeding season in late summer or before late February. Wear gloves, remove the old nest, and brush out if heavily soiled. Do not use insect spray or chemical cleaning agents.

Can I clean with chemicals?

No, do not use insect spray or chemical cleaning agents. Only brush out the nest material.

Is the bird house safe for children?

The bird house is not a toy. Keep children away from packaging materials due to suffocation risk. Do not allow children to play with the bird house.

What should I do if I missed cleaning in late summer?

If you missed late summer cleaning, you can delay until the following year. The alternative time is before the start of the breeding season (before late February), but this may disturb hibernating animals. It is better to skip a year.

Can the bird house be used in winter?

Yes, when mounted in autumn, the bird house can provide shelter for birds, small mammals, and insects during winter and hibernation seasons.

How do I dispose of the product?

Dispose of the product and packaging in an environmentally friendly manner. Separate materials for recycling and follow local regulations. Contact your local waste disposal facility for guidance.

Technical information

Dimensions: approx. 18 x 18 x 28cm (L x W x H)

Intended use

The article is only suitable as a nesting aid for birds and is not designed for commercial use. The article is designed for use in the living area, e.g. on a balcony, a terrace or in the garden.

Safety guidelines

• Only use the article for its intended purpose.
  • This article is not a toy.
• Never leave children with the packaging materials unsupervised. There is a risk of suffocation.
• Do not check the article during the breeding period so that you do not disturb the hatching and raising of the young birds.

Mounting

Please observe the following when mounting the article:

• Hang the article at a height of two to three metres.

• The entry hole should not face the windward side (west) and the article should not be subjected to bright sunlight for longer periods (south). The ideal orientation is therefore to the east or southeast.

• Use rust-free aluminium nails or screws to mount the article on trees. Alternatively you can use stable wire brackets that do not damage the tree.

• The article should never tip backwards but should rather tip forwards so that rain cannot enter.
• Articles in the same design and with the same type of target bird should be hung at least ten metres apart (exception: colony hatchers such as sparrows, starlings, and swallows). This ensures that the breeding animals find enough food for themselves and their young.
• It is best to mount the article in the autumn so that birds, small mammals, and insects can use them to sleep and hibernate.
• Suitable places for mounting are protected places on house walls, balconies, sheds, and summer houses that cannot be accessed by cats or martens.

Cleaning and maintenance

• Clean the article after the breeding season as fleas, mites, or louse flies often live in old nests. Undertake the cleaning in the late summer or wait until the end of February so that you do not disturb hibernating animals such as dormice. As it is difficult to find the alternative time after the winter and before the start of the breeding season you should delay the cleaning for a year if you have missed the late summer time period.
• Wear gloves and do not take nesting material into the house as bird fleas and other creatures can transfer to people.
• Remove the old nest and brush the article out if it is heavily soiled. Do not use insect spray or chemical cleaning agents.
• Store the article in a clean, dry place when you are not using it.

Disposal

Please dispose of the product and packaging in an environmentally friendly manner, separating different materials for recycling as required! Dispose of this item through an authorised disposal company or through your local waste disposal facilities - ask your local authority for information if further guidance is required. Ensure that you comply with all regulations currently in force.
