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?

I wonder if a screw would be a better bet, as you could undo it a little as
the tree grew bigger, and when you had finished with the box it could be
removed completely.
