Huismustil HMT3 – compact, 4 breeding pairs, FSC plywood | Unitura

The HMT3 is a compact house sparrow nest box made of FSC-certified plywood, with space for four breeding pairs of house sparrows. The box replaces two existing nesting sites and can be placed close to the sparrows' current nesting site, allowing it to be put into use more quickly than temporary boxes placed further away.

• Four breeding pairs in one box
• Lightweight (15 kg): can be installed by one person without heavy machinery
• Slanted roof for quick rainwater drainage
• Air space between the roof and nesting boxes for ventilation and temperature control
• Can be placed close to the old nesting site, for example on a farmyard or near a petrol station

Tip: place the box as close as possible to the current nesting site, preferably near evergreen plants.

Placement

Place the box as close as possible to the current nesting sites, preferably near evergreen plants and away from footpaths or driveways. Take scaffolding into account when it is erected during work. The minimum height of the underside is 3 metres: if you place the box on a post that is 80 cm in the ground, the underside will be exactly 3 metres above the ground. House sparrow boxes work best in areas with limited nesting opportunities, such as farmyards and isolated locations.
