Good hygiene also helps to ensure a bird's safety. Cleaning your bird feeders regularly, year-round is essential. Firstly, clearing food, so it doesn't rot.

There is no best time to put up nest boxes. By putting up boxes in the autumn, you can provide much-needed winter refuges for roosting birds. It is possibly increasing the chance of them staying and nesting in the spring. Putting up in autumn is an excellent practice to maintain as a well-designed nest box will only need cleaning once per year.
