The type of camera installed in the bird box is unobtrusive, and allows you to observe the birds as they go about their activities. The camera is usually hard-wearing and durable so it can easily survive limited exposure to the elements and any knocks and bumps from the birds themselves. A wire may then be trailed from the bird box camera into the home or a outdoor shed or equivalent so the images can be looked at from a distance. This is easiest if your bird box is in close proximity of the home. Otherwise, if you have a slightly larger budget you are able to get a wireless bird box camera.

Birds tender to shy away from humans, so the bird box camera could be the perfect method for following them without causing any distress. This really is crucial if the birds are nesting, any disturbance can be damaging to the survival of the youngsters. From a suitable vantage point your family can watch the parents construct a nest within the bird box, watch the eggs being laid and nurtured and then sooner or later see the young chicks hatch.
