How to Make a Sparrow Colony Nesting Box / Bird House (Sparrow Terrace)

In this video I share How to Make / Build a Sparrow Colony Nesting Box / Bird House Sparrow Terrace out of Scrap Wood. Sparrows are currently in decline here in the UK so they need our help. This Bird box houses 3 lots of sparrows as they like to live communally. If you would like to see how to make some other kinds of Bird Box, please check out the links below:

Thank you Phill for building a house for the sparrows. You are a good man. God Bless.

I had to make sure all of our bird houses had a smaller hole to protect the babies. Also, deeper down into the box also helps. We had Jays that were pulling the baby Sparrows out and eating them. I put a square cage wire around the boxes that the Sparrows can easily go through, but the Jays and Black Birds can't get into. The Black Birds were eating their eggs. We have had these bird houses for years and within the last three years other birds started going into the nesting boxes. We also have Cooper's Hawks that show up now I guess because there are so many Sparrows in our backyard. We also have Finches and other birds but mainly Sparrows. I had to move a feeder to the back fence where there are bushes. I also had to put the cage wire around the area of the feeder because the Black Birds found it and would empty the feeder daily. That kept them out. We also have Doves but our neighbors cat has killed a number of them. Tried to talk to them and they don't care.

You should always use the first cut piece as a template for the rest of the cuts because if you have a minor error it will multiply with each successive cut by the time you make the last cut. :)

Very nice, 👌👌👌super sparrow houses

Suggestion: ---- How about making the roof sloped to the front, and projected over the entrance holes , to help prevent rain water blowing in. Put the hinges to rear. Make the front removable to aid cleaning out. Add a hook or piece of wire to tie roof down in case of windy weather. 🐦

They are all here in Mallorca. My patios in S'Arracó have at least 2 families which descend every morning for breakfast we put out. Probably about 30 in all. Just fledged their babies, fun to see the mums feeding them on the ledges where the food is.

[@vikas21511]

Great man , you have really done very wonderful job

[@nixonsmateruby1]

Sparrows are making a comeback but not half as many as when I was a kid, and the reason is simple, new buildings don't have anywhere to nest in or under the roofs. All the factories in the 70s had that corrugated roofing and loads of sparrows used to nest there, and even homes don't have nest areas any more because the eaves and soffit are all sealed up. If you go to a council estate with older housing you will see loads of sparrows because of loose slates and cement.

Relief its not another review I spent a bit of money last week ;) Seriously nice job Phil like the paintwork

[@johnsantiago5871]

Mindblowing

[@frundlemud]

The neighbour's house has had a new roof with dry verges. Sparrows were kicked out due to no gaps. I will make a box just like yours with just a little more front overhang to deter Magpies. I like the front hinge.

[@brettowen7174]

Just a few observations : the entrance holes looked rough around the edges inside the box, might ruffle a few feathers? Secondly, just one mirror plate in the centre to hold it up. One squirrel, cat jumping down on the box will tilt it wildly. 2 plates better, I think?

great vid mate I will make one of these to give these little fellows a helping hand can't believe how much they have declined when I was young In the seventies you couldn't hear your self think because of the constant chirping of the sparrow and now
