Just as when they are outside, needing to have their blindfolds on because their fate would rest in the hands of seeing one of those creatures, they base their trust in the box of birds, like I said above, represent freedom and perspective, to be their eyes for them. This makes them rely on their other senses, such as touch, smell, hearing, taste, and when they can see — their emotions are heightened. I have a lot more to elaborate on regarding this and the meaning within my personal response further down. This beautiful birdhouse designed to look like a traditional British post box will make a great home for the birds in your garden. After all but one of her group survives within the house and she has her baby, Malorie flees with her baby boy, the newborn child of another housemate who died, and the one surviving member of the house to find a place where they could be safe together. They ultimately find themselves living in the middle of the woods, having trained themselves with blindfolds on how to survive, and in pursuit of discovering a community of which they could live with permanently. The story continues on with Malorie rafting down the river with the two children, having lost her lover (once housemate) right beforehand, with their blindfolds on, journeying forward against a battle with death in hope of finding a place where they can call home and live in peace.
Taking advice directly from the horses mouth, the RSPB recommend facing the bird box north and east, with a few exceptions. If your garden is adjoined with woodlands, it might be possible to fix it so its out of the way, but still overlooking open lands. Adding a nesting box to your habitat will not only benefit native bird species, it will also give you an opportunity to monitor and enjoy birds. This is why, at the end of “Bird Box,” Malorie looks up while in the courtyard, to the birds flying around the covered terrarium after letting her’s go. She has achieved freedom — freedom of emotion, spirit, and journey of finally being able to connect — she was let out of her box, and so were her birds. Instead, the Tawny Owl box should be strapped to a tree trunk that is overhanging or at least on an angle with cover to keep the wet out.
Making nest boxes for owls
Traditionally, nest boxes for small birds are put up in the spring - pairs begin to prospect in the latter half of February, so a box put up at the end of the winter stands a good chance of attracting nesting birds. However, it is never too early or late to put up a nest box, as some birds will use them to roost in during the winter months. Sparrows, starlings, tits, and spotted flycatchers are most chirpy when their nest box is 2 to 4 metres high Did you know that by 2020, it’s predicted that worldwide, a suicide will be committed every 20 seconds? We put so much pressure on ourselves these days regarding work, a love-life, a social-life, what we need to accomplish, etc., and we never give ourselves enough time to understand that we are growing, along with time to practice self-love, take a walk in the park, eat a proper meal that is healthy and nutritious, and see the beauty of this world for what it simply is. Everyone is so afraid of being alone that they don’t open themselves up to be vulnerable, to actually live life — the most beautiful gift we’ve been given. Therefore, what “Bird Box,” is saying is that the apocalypse comes from ourselves — from the human race. Suicide is spreading like wildfire across the globe, and if we have to have that plainly explained to us, there’s no wonder we can’t connect. We don’t look into the deeper meaning of things anymore. It’s been expressed to me that “Bird Box,” is an “okay” movie, I look at it and say, “wow,” the writer really had something important to say, which will take me to my last point. Speaking of doors, the size of the nest’s entrance hole plays a huge part in a bird’s decision to make a home there or not. We can categorise different birds of a feather, each group with a specific preference for their own little hobbit door size: Take into consideration the direction your box is facing and how much direct sun it receives. Many birds will reject boxes that face due west, for example, because the box may stay too hot.
The sense of sight is obviously a very important aspect of this film, as well as an extremely important lesson. We depend too much on it. We don’t allow ourselves to use our other senses to enhance our lives and emotions, nor do we allow ourselves the time or chance to be introspective and discover who we truly are and how we feel. That was Marlorie’s biggest struggle. Though she was an artist and painted her perspective on the world, she didn’t have any perspective of herself and didn’t share who SHE was with others. This is the point where she is the bird, and her soul takes flight throughout the movie, meaning the perspective of what she needed was not through her sight, it was through her mood and emotions — which eventually helped to free her at the end. This is why the term “Bird,” is so important, because she is in her own “box” meaning her own body — seeing herself for who she truly is, to the point where they reach the School of the Blind — the community of hope and a place they can call home — and she gives Boy and Girl names based off emotions she felt for those she named them after, and she called herself their mother — which she was. Being that the place of solace in this world was a school for the blind, and once arriving, Malorie saw everyone talking and sitting by one another — happy, says so much. Most people there didn’t and couldn’t take an exterior point of view on who they met, they saw with their heart, not their eyes, which is why they survived and aren’t lonely. They didn’t allow the distractions of life to get in their way, they went with what they felt. Even for those who are fine without any nest box cover, it’s still very important to hang the box in good distance from any tumultuous happenings such as other nests (a near nesting neighbour may cause aggressive quarrels), bird feeders or bird bath tables. Bird baby-mamas are just not too keen on all that fuss outside, so keep the bird box at least 25 feet away from it all.The habitat available to you will be the primary factor determining the type of birds you can attract for nesting. Here are a few things to consider: If securing the box outside, make sure its on the building facing away from the sun and wind, but still accessible by you to fix it, before clearing it out later on. Tawny Owl Setting up a nesting box in your yard can provide an essential nesting area for the members of many species of birds. It is also a great way to provide wildlife a place to raise young, one of the four things you need for your outdoor area to qualify as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat.
If fixing the box inside the building it should be an old, abandoned building with enough room up in the rafters to fix the box, allowing owls to escape if need be. Well a House Sparrow is happy to set up home in the busy suburbs, the Tree Sparrow requires seclusion in the woods. You don’t want to hang your bird box with nails that can rust, and thus damage the tree and box, making it unstable. Instead, try to tie the box to the tree trunk or hang it from a branch with galvanised wire , or, if hanging the box on a wall, use stainless steel screws or nails that won’t rust .
Like I said above, the film is based off of Malorie’s painting that we see in the beginning of the film. Malorie’s sister, Jessica, explains that the painting “looks like a whole bunch of people sitting together, but they all look incredibly lonely.” Malorie then replies, “ Loneliness is just incidental, it’s really about people’s inability to connect.” These two answers are completely relative to the painting, to us as human beings, and the world we live in.
