Nesting is most likely occur April and May. If chicks hatch, you’ll see a flurry of feeding activity by the parent birds. To avoid disturbing them, do not open or inspect the box during the breeding season, as interruption could lead to the abandonment of the nest and young.

Remove old nest material and disinfect with a wildlife-safe product
To open for cleaning, lift the brass catch to the upright position and swing the side panel open from the bottom
