Abstract.--A pentagon-shapednest box made from four one-half-gallon milk cartons is described.Two cartonsfor interior walls and two for exteriorwalls were appropriatelycut and assembledusing staplesand duct tape. None of 206 boxesusedfor House Sparrows (Passerdomesticus) throughone nestingseason(7 mo), and only eight of 120 boxesused through two nestingseasonsand the interveningwinter (19 mo), required replacement. About 35% required minor retaping eachyear. This inexpensivebox was readily accepted by House Sparrows,withstoodconsiderableweather extremes,and appearswell-suitedfor field studiesof House Sparrowsand possiblyother cavity-nestingbirds.

Nest boxesoftenare usedwhen studyingcavity-nestingbirds.Variables suchas cavity size, densityand placement(e.g., site, height, exposure) can be controlledto easeresearcheraccessto nests.During a study of House Sparrows (Passerdomesticus),we wanted a nest box that was inexpensiveand easyto make, yet highly attractiveto House Sparrows. Attractivenesswas important becausesome other studiesreported low (
