Best Answer

Use only raw, untreated wood, as chemicals found in stains and paints may be harmful to the birds. The best kind of wood is plywood, cedar, or redwood.

Where do sparrows build their nest?

House sparrows often live close to people and will build their higgledy-piggledy nests in any crevice that they can find in houses or buildings, or in any suitable creepers that might be growing on a building. They will also use nest boxes and, as they are sociable birds who like to live in large groups, they will be particularly keen to use nest boxes if they are of the terrace type (three or more boxes joined together much like a terrace of houses). Tree sparrows tend to live more in open countryside. Their nests are much neater than those of the house sparrow and although they will also build in any suitable crevice in a building or sometimes nest box, they will also construct their nests in trees or, if near the coast, even in a cliff-face.
