This birdhouse has been designed for the Robin. Except for the Robin, you can also expect the Spotted Flycatcher and the Common Redstart to visit the birdhouse. For Robins you need to place the birdhouse in a well hidden place, on or near the ground (max. up to 1.5 m (4.9ft)) among dense bushes or vines therefore not in the direct sunlight or on the side catching the rain and an obstacle free approach route for the bird.

For the Spotted Flycatcher and the Common Redstart you need to hang the birdhouse on a tree or wall, at a height of 1 to 5 m (3.3 to 16.4 ft).

Fall is the best season to clean out the nesting box. During severe winter conditions, the nesting box offers shelter and protection to birds.
