Natagora will place 70 birdhouses, in the Brussels Park and the Egmont Garden. The work is an initiative of the Committee 'Arts Quarter' and has the support of the City of Brussels. The inauguration of the boxes will take place at 2:30 pm.

Birds in the park

Aves, the birds department of Natagora, will also open an information booth on biodiversity from 11:30 am to 6 pm in the park. The Brussels Park [plan] and the Egmont Park [plan] attract lots of crows and parrots at the moment. The Committee of the Arts Quarter hopes to increase the diversity of the birds by hanging birdhouses in the parks. A total of 70 birdhouses will be placed:

• 60 boxes for blue tits and great tits
• 10 boxes for starlings

Natagora will also be responsible for the birdhouses: the counts in spring and the maintenance in winter. The placement of the birdhouses is a first step in making the parks more attractive for native plants and animals.
