Description

house sparrow sen (Passer domesticus) deden het tot een aantal jaren geleden in de Benelux zeer goed doordat er nog meer haagkanten waren en vele huizen nog oude daken hadden met een verouderde dakstructuur. Door verregaande modernisering echter zijn er vandaag de dag steeds minder geschikte broedplaatsen voor deze vogel te vinden.

A house sparrow nesting box can be placed in the city, the village or in the countryside. House sparrows like gardens with lots of greenery and hedges (privet, ivy) for their safety and for food. When choosing the location, it is important that house sparrows already occur within a radius of maximum 500m. Sparrows like to seek out fellow species, they are social birds.

Typically, not all nesting spaces will be used for breeding. Sparrows also occupy some of the nesting spaces merely as a hiding place. So it will never be the case that all 24 nests house a breeding pair. Also, blue and great tits sometimes make use of this tit.
