As part of my DT GCSE I am designing a bird box to help provide birds with a safer environment and I would really appreciate it if you could answer a short 2 minute survey about it: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/W2XWNLH Thanks. I would also appreciate any suggestions from all of you down below.

Completed. Use a natural and sustainable material.

Done
A complex issue, where location, size etc all influence the likely occupation and species etc. It is important that the box is placed where it is inaccessible to predators such as cats etc

Ok, completed the survey. Birds need protection from people as well as cats and dogs, etc. Bird boxes should be sited appropriately and made of materials that will stand up to attacks from predators such as squirrels and woodpeckers.

Also done. As well as traditional materials, woodcrete should be considered.

Hi

Done and good luck with your project. Think about how to preserve the wood, which gives longevity, but may not be good for the birds or their environment, or perhaps not using wood?
