I have just bought vaious bird boxes and should like to put them up around
the garden.

The question is - how do you secure them to the tree trunks because I
thought that banging a nail into the tree will kill or hurt it.


You could use a plastic tie.

Thanks. I'll try tying where I can but otherwise I'll use nails. Are there
any nails in particular you would recommend?


Not copper. ;-)
