Bird Nest Box India

The avian population (with exception of some species) has been in decline for sometime due to a variety of factors such as urbanization, deforestation, pesticides, pollution etc. One of the factors affecting population is availability of suitable nesting sites. Besides saving old trees a viable solution for cavity nesting birds is to provide nest boxes at suitable sites. A group of us residing in Bangalore came together in 2018 to provide nest boxes for secondary cavity nesting birds like Magpie robin, tits, mynas, starlins, owls, hornbills in urban and semi-forested areas around Bangalore. The concept of providing boxes for nesting birds is still in its infancy in India.
