This allows the bird to escape if attacked. Predators will have difficulty seeing a brooding duck if the nesting box is 80-100 cm long. For one cylinder nest, you will need: a 2.5 x 0.8 m wire net, 20 plastic cable ties, and hay. The construction process consists of several simple steps: 1. Twist the net on one side to form a tube with a diameter of 30 cm, and secure it with cable ties in three places. 2. Place a 3-4 cm layer of hay on the unrolled portion of the mesh. 3. Roll the loose portion of the mesh with hay onto the finished mesh cylinder and secure with clamps. 4. Line the bottom of the nest tightly with hay to prevent the wind from blowing it out of the cylinder. Installation: Artificial nest boxes for wild ducks are best installed on bodies of water measuring 0.25-2 hectares. They thrive on newly formed bodies of water where natural nesting sites are scarce. Nests are placed in open water, from a meter to several dozen meters from reeds, with the exits parallel to the overgrown side. They can also be placed on floating land. It is important to avoid the growth of tough stems in the summer, which could allow mink to reach the nest. The period of thick ice is the best time to install nests. Mallards lay eggs early, so the nests should be ready before the ice melts. To protect against minks, attach a 60-70 cm long drainpipe to the post or cover it with tin. A 60-70 cm long tin funnel is also made. BUT!!! It is best to install nests on a metal structure.
