Hole Bird
Building the right bird house
Tree limbs, shrubs, holes in the ground and trees cavities are among some of the natural places for birds to nest. But when these locations are not available, having bird house can be a good nesting place.
A plain bird house will be the best choice for attracting birds. Avoid adding a perch beneath the entrance, this will only give predators a place attack. Also choose the proper size entrance hole for the variety of bird you are trying to attract.
Research and learn about the birds in your area before buying or building a bird houses. Be aware of the birds needs, different variety of birds will require a certain size and style of bird house.
By knowing what type of birds are in your area you will be able to buy or build the right bird house that will meet their needs. Using cedar lumber will be a great choice of wood to build a bird house. This type of wood doesn’t need painting or staining.
The size, style and size of the entrance hole will be determined by the type of bird you are trying to attract. Different birds will have different bird house needs. Find out the needs of the birds you are trying to attract by doing some research.
Having a perch might seem like a good idea, but it is not necessary. In fact a perch will give predators a place to wait for the birds to come out.
Choose the location carefully. You don’t want a place with to much human activity, but you will still want a location were you can observe and enjoy the bird activity. Also keep in mind how weather and predators will be affected by the location you choose. The most common places is hanging them on trees or mounting them to post. The ideal height is usually three to ten feet.
You will also want to provide water and food for the birds. Giving birds food, especially in the winter when food is hard to come by, is a must for attracting birds to your property. Birds will also need water for drinking and bathing, placing a shallow container with water will be ideal.
Learn about the different kinds of birds in your area. By doing some research you will be able to build the proper bird house and provide them with the right type of food. There are many websites that have lots of information on birds and plans for building bird houses.
