Bird Nest Box Project

This has been in the plans for quite a while ... observing birds at their nests, in their home studying brooding, feeding and other related behavior. Both our homes in Miri were blessed with plenty of plants and bushes which were rife with life. We just never quite got to it.

Our prototype nest box with sloping roof, hinged front door and allocation for a webcam.

Later modifications (16/11/13) which included an circular entry targetting tits and nuthatches, a small perch by the entrance and hinged door connected to the top cover. A webcam would be placed on the top cover eventually.

There are plenty of nextbox plans on the internet. We want to go a step further by linking the nest to a webcam to afford us a view inside the nestboc from the comforts of our home, from the computer or laptop.

With our prototype bird house ready, we'll have to start souring for a durable webcam and associated cables to bring reality bird life tv into our living room. It'll be exciting, it'll keep us busy for the winter in time for the spring nesting season.
