How come the bird boxes in Aldi have a great big hole at the bottom? Is it a design feature or a design floor?

Closest image I could find :



But the gap is wider than the one above in the Aldi boxes.

According to the RSPB

They should:

- Be robust – they are out in all weather and need to be strong and fit for purpose

- Be waterproof – they need to be treated with a water-based preservative

- Have the correct hole-size – if too large predators will easily get inside and rain/wind will get into the box

- Be safe – no dangerous sharp edges, protruding nails or staples or unecessary fixtures or small gaps which may harm or trap birds

-Have good insulation – wood or woodcrete is usually the best material

- Have no perches

They should not:

- Be brightly coloured – the more inconspicuous the better

- Be made from flimsy material – many boxes fall apart when any weight is put inside

- Be too shallow – young birds could leave prematurely by falling out

- Be too deep - young birds may have problems getting out when they are ready

- Be too smooth on the inside – slippery material will also make it difficult for young birds to get out

- Have gaps – rain and cold air will get in and cause young birds to get cold and damp

So sounds like shoddy workmanship.

Definitely looking good now. Seen both tits in and about the box, and definite nesting activity - lots of stuff being put in the box, then tit does a sort of pirouette with its wings spread to shape it.



Still doing the woodpecker impressions too - there looks to be quite a dent in the side of the box (front right on picture), but difficult to tell how deep it is.
