Homes for Birds Week – February 9-15, 2026
Homes for Birds Week is observed every year during the second full week in February. This year, it takes place from February 9 to 15. It is a week aimed at promoting and enhancing biodiversity by encouraging people to build and set up nest boxes for birds. Though nest boxes have existed since ancient times, the modern nest box didn’t come onto the scene until the early 19th century. It was invented by the British conservationist, Charles Waterton. Nest boxes are vital in preserving birdlife, which in turn, maintains a balanced ecosystem.
Note that birds will start migrating soon. If you want to offer shelter, you need to get it up before they arrive.
