Find a sheltered spot out of direct sunlight and prevailing winds where the birdball can hang unhindered at least 1.5m (5ft) from the ground.Birds can take months or even years to use a new nesting site but often return annually when they find one they like. You may remove old nesting materials from the birdball between October and November, and rinse the inside thoroughly with hot water. Never use bleach, detergent or any other harsh cleaning products. The birdball is made from frost resistant natural materials and may weather with time.The birdball has been designed to encourage small birds like Coal tits, Marsh tits, Blue tits and Great tits to nest in your garden.
