In Fig. 1, a roof 1 of a nest box is part 2 with a 1

is known. The nesting box can be made in one for all songbird species I

The nest box is made of a propellant-containing plastic with %

high insulation value by heating the plastic material in %

injection molding with subsequent expansion and cooling-)

let manufactured. The starting material can consist of a mixture of fuels with polyurethane formers, polyolefins that form a hard surface or their thermoplastics. At \

If the starting materials are suitably selected, the fuel expands when it is deformed and shape conditions and forms a core with

ΐ5 closed pores while the surface becomes smooth and hard. The plastic granules may also contain suitable color pigments, so the nesting box that the environment in the wild as few takes off.

The roof of the nest box according to FIGS. 1 to 3 is a gable roof with fairly steep gable surfaces. Because of this and the smooth, hard surface on the outside, it is not possible for predators to stay on the roof. Furthermore, the roof also has a projection h in front of an entrance hole 5 (FIG. 2) which is sufficiently long so that a predator lurking above the nest box cannot see the entrance hole 5 from above and cannot reach into it. The entrance hole 5 is preferably cut out half in the injection molding forming the roof 1 and the other half in the part forming the nest box part 2. The molded part for the roof t can have a transverse wall 6 on its underside which extends to the lower edge of the entrance hole 5 and is arranged approximately at the same distance from the entrance hole 5 as the end of the projection 4.

To prevent rainwater from creeping in from roof 1

dem, are near the ends of the roof on the underside of drainage |

grooves 9 provided (Fig. 2). They extend over the whole Gable width. This prevents moisture from getting into the interior of the nest box part 2. Instead of the flight hole side The drip groove 9 can also extend over the entire height of the roof vertical wall. This increases the protection of the residents without having to fly to and from the airport To hinder entrance hole 5 significantly.

The injection molding for the nest box part 2 has opposite the horizontal strongly beveled front and rear walls 7 and 8. In an upper, vertical part of the front wall 7 is the lower Half of the entrance hole 5 is cut out. The dimensions of the entrance hole 5 can be chosen to be different for the breeders to be expected e.g. between 2.6 and 5 cm. So you can see the spread of the different types of control. The desired | The easiest way to find the entrance hole diameter is to use interchangeable Achieve entrance hole inserts.

The front wall 7 has a sufficient slope so that the young birds that have not yet fledged cannot climb it from the inside can. It can have a light, embossed or e.g. Young birds can only overcome this wall when they are fully fledged.

The rear wall 8 is in the lower part also opposite the horizontal arranged obliquely; it also has a vertical upper part which extends to the lower end of a ventilation hole 16. An offset, indicated by a thick line in FIG. 2, between the pressed part of the roof 1 and the nest box part 2 also prevents water from creeping in,

As FIG. 2 shows, the space between the front wall 7 is -η and the rear wall 8 inside the nest box part 2 by a preferably at the transition from the inclined front wall 7 a horizontal part 10 looking at a vertical transverse wall . Subdivided into an anteroom 12 and a nest room 13. This is

compared to the transverse wall 6 arranged on the roof part slightly in The direction of the rear wall 8 is offset. As experiments have shown, the birds upholstery both the anteroom 12 and the nest space 13 off. The adult birds brush against the plumage when bringing in food Adhering water between these two transverse walls 6 and 11 largely from, so that the nest space 13 is free of moisture remain. The stripped water can drip off through a hole 14 arranged in the horizontal part 10 of the anteroom. This at the same time helps to ventilate the anteroom 12. Also arranged in the floor of the horizontal part 10 of the nest area 13 Holes 15 are used for the very important nest ventilation. In addition, falls Vermin present through the holes 15 in the nest, such as mites, maggots and lice, to a substantial extent from the nest space 13 out. The opening 16 provided in the uppermost part of the rear wall 8 serves to effectively ventilate the nest space 13.

This creates harmful moisture in the nest in wet weather and avoid the occurrence of heat build-up in the nesting box in summer. S- can brood even in extreme weather conditions and survive a strong plague of l'cigeweed.

The roof 1 and the nest box part 2 can be formed on the front and back so that the front wall 7 and di-Ä Rear wall 8 of the nest box part with a transverse wall 22 in the front part and 23 in the rear part of the roof 1 by means of an offset similar to that in FIG. 2 are brought into congruence with one another can be. For this purpose, the roof 1 is together with the walls 6 and 22 and the wall leaving the opening 16 free 23 and a wall possibly attached instead of the front drip groove 9, formed from a single piece. The same way Then there is the nest box part 2 together with the transverse wall 11 from a single sprue. The two parts can be plugged together from below and above and attached to the side Hook bolts 21 according to FIG. 3 are held together.

The interior of the nesting box can at least partially be specially structured or coated in order, on the one hand, to accommodate suppress so that the birds are not frightened, and other-

_{On the} other hand, to avoid condensation, especially in the nest area. Suitable structures can be achieved by pressing in fine knob or waffle grids. As a coating, for example, sawdust stored in the surface, thin wood (wood veneer, boards, chipboard or the like) or a preferred

For easily separable attachment of the nest box part 2 from the roof 1, the side walls 17 can be integrally formed at the upper end with one that extends over the entire length in the example described Bar 19 be provided, which exactly in parallel to the lower roof edges recessed grooves 20 on the underside of the Roof 1 fit. The grooves 20 should end a little bit before the end of the roof, so that the entry of water into the interior of the Nest box 2 can be avoided. Through horizontally in the The hook screws 21 can be screwed in with the lower roof edge and holes partially projecting into the strips 19 which the nest box is held together. This makes it easier to take the nesting boxes apart and put them together, see above that it can easily be done by the bird protection school youth can be.
